OK, here's my camping tip:

Bottle your eggs!
Whenever I go camping in the westy I always pre-crack my eggs into an
empty soda bottle.  A dozen large eggs will just fit into a 1L
bottle. You will need to puncture the yokes to get them to go through
the funnel. Freeze the bottle and it will help keep your cooler cold
for the first two days as the eggs melt.

Once the eggs are thawed out they are easily poured into a skillet
for scrambled eggs, or you can ration them out one at a time for use
in pancakes or other recipes.


Happy trails,
