You Would Never Think To Cook Eggs This Way in a EOTW Situation

So you have no power and all you have is a fire and your travel pot because your on the way to your bug out location or you had to make do outside.  I know many preppers including me have a ziploc baggy in your bug out bag.  Instead of frying them, you can crack the eggs in a baggy and stick them into boiling water and bag boil them.

Boy scouts use this method to cook eggs when out in the woods.  I like this method because it allows you to do it and go.  Yes boiling water takes a little while but, it makes no mess to clean up after cooking.

Find eggs can be easy, just look for a farm or chicken coops and hope that no one is there, or offer to barter with them.  Farm fresh eggs can be carried for a while with out refrigeration.  A egg that hasn't been refrigerated can sit out for 5 days and still be safe to eat.

Boiling eggs can also be used but can dry your mouth out when you eat the yolk.

Have any other ways to cook eggs leave it in the comments.

Three Things That Must Be in Your Bug Out Bag

Here are three things that will help you big time in case you need to start a fire.  Starting a fire can be hard or easy it all depends on how prepared you are.  These tings can be a life saver and you can find it in most houses.

The first thing you will see everyday.  It's dryer lint that you need and you can add to your collection every time you use the dryer.  This works best to store in a zip lock bag.  This works really good in a emergency or even to start a fire in the fire pit.  All you need is just a little to get it going.  It doesn't take up a lot of room so you can pack it anywhere.  Add the lint beneath the tinder and light on fire.

The next two things are used together, it's a steel wool pad and a 9 volt battery.  This starts a fire by rubbing the 9 volt battery against the steel wool and it pretty much starts the fire their.  This is one of the easiest ways to start a fire.  Make sure to store them separately and in baggies.

Ka-Bar Becker BK3 Tac Tool Fixed Blade Knife Review

The Ka-Bar Becker BK3 Tac Tool Fixed Blade Knife is one of my favorites because of it's size and the number of different things it can do as a knife.  This knife can be used as a knife for everyday survival or it can be used to break in and or break out of a area.

  • Weight: 1.3 pounds
  • Sheath: Glass-filled nylon
  • Edge Angle: 15 degrees; Steel: 1095 cro-van
  • Blade Length: 7 inches
  • Overall Length: 12-1/2 inches
  • Grind: Flat
  • Handle: Grivory
  • Knife made in the USA; sheath made in Taiwan. 

It is equally powerful at lifting stubborn hinge pins, prying open doors or windows, and hammering out glass as it is efficient at cutting 550 cord.  That's right cut right through a 550 cord.  I use mine to make shelter it takes down small trees quickly.
