Well, eggs can be dipped in water glass (aquas sodium silicate) and left un-refrigerated for months on end. Same with hard boiled eggs.

Uncooked eggs actually last longer.

Rub mineral oil on eggs and that will act as a preserver.

Here’s how to make a zeer refrigerator that is a small pot inside a large pot with sand in between = http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pot-in-a-Pot-Refrigerator

I can’t find the link but there is a refrigerator made from basically a box with a cloth or burlap draped over. Make sure it stays damp and that cools the food. From Australia, iirc.

I would be concerned with that seaping through the shell into the egg. I’ve heard of using mineral oil, but same deal. I wonder how something like just olive oil would work.

I assume most preppers know that eggs do not need to be refridgerated, though they last longer that way. You can tell if an egg has gone bad if it floats in water.

Eggs do NOT need to be refrigerated as we are told, especially if they are fresh.

I make Ukrainian Easter Eggs and we’ve them out sitting on the table for up to three weeks without them going bad.

But really, a chicken sits on them for 21 days with a temperature of about 99-100 degrees and they don’t rot. If they did the chicks would be killed.

And that was store bought eggs that were already God knows how old by the time we got them.

My raw egg sodium silicate experiments have been epic fail.

Unwashed straight from the chicken eggs where chickens are in good environment (clean) can easily go two weeks without refrigeration. Some, say longer but if you are not eating them within two weeks you have excess anyway.
