Camping with Eggs

FireBuilder · 01-07-2011, 12:32 PM

Whenever I need to bring eggs on a camping trip, I always crack them at home and bring them in a thermos. No need to worry about broken shells or making a mess.

I some times boil them at home and at camp smash them up like scrambled eggs.
Freeze Dried Eggs are my last resort.

I like the boiled egg idea.

Do the freeze dried eggs work in recipes? I can't imagine eating them plain (scrambled, etc.), but maybe in pancakes?

Rookie/ I use Freeze dried eggs in any recipes that requires eggs and have no problem with desired results.

I have a special plastic container that I carry fresh eggs in, that works real good , A little heavy for back packing maybe, but works good in a cooler, Ive drop my cooler and kick them around and the eggs were not broken.You can get one at most camping and sporting goods store.

Freeze dried eggs suck.

I'll usually put the whole dozen container in a ziploc bag. Sure, sometimes they get broken, but the mess is contained.

How often do they get broken that way? Seems like it would break more than it wouldn't

Crack them at home and transport in a 1/2 gallon milk jug.

Rarely. I'm not taking them in a pack or anything. They sit on top of everything in a cooler in the bed of my truck. I am mostly a family state park camper these days by necessity.
