    Hunting meals

    Does anyone have any good ideas on how they take eggs when they go hunting.
    I vac pack meals etc but got me thinking can an uncooked egg be vac packed and kept for a few days.
    Any ideas

    You can buy little 6 pack plastic versions of the cardboard egg cartons. Prevents them from being smashed/broken.

    I dehydrate raw eggs recently
    Powdered them and 3 eggs in each tiny zip lock bag
    Haven't used any yet
    But add some milk powder to the bag
    Drop it in simmering water for 5 minutes
    Cooked
    Should be nice with some bits of salami and chunks of cheese in there

    @25/08IMP I’ve done that a couple of times. I whisk em up in a bowl at home with some salt & pepper & some grated cheese & then vac pack. Longest I’ve had em out in the field would be like 3 days. Then just boil em in my billy & it’s kinda like scrambled egg.

    I don’t refrigerate my eggs at home, keep em in the pantry. & they don’t refrigerate em at the supermarket. So I don’t see this as much different storage-wise. Biggest challenge is vacuum packing em though cos the vacuum will want to suck up the liquid.

    Understood. But the bonus is fresh meat on the last day.

    You're doing it wrong, teach it to walk on a lead then you don't have to carry it.

    It's a bit hard to lead a sheep and a chicken I guess I can make it saddle bags then I can have lamb chops and chicken
