We always bring eggs on canoe trips. We usually cook them the first or second morning. We have some of those plastic carriers, but most often just use the carton the eggs come in from the store. We tape it with duct tape, and place it in a large zip-lock bag. Part of our food strategy is to have a cardboard box inside the food pack. We always place the eggs on top and are very careful with the food pack (it's not a chair! 
). Though we had one cracked egg (still useable) on a trip last summer, I can't remember the last time we broke an egg to the point it was not useable.PG
When I bring eggs I usually crack them in a wide mouth plastic bottle before leaving home. That way I don`t worry about breaking the eggs.
The fried content is however more of an omelet .

Hi Harlequin,have you considered taking dried whole egg powder instead of fresh eggs. I use this instead,the powder i use is made by Supercook, i got it from Asda. Anyway just a thought!
We now use the plastic egg trays available but when I was younger we used the cardboard egg container padded with crumpled newspaper. The food goes in a chuck pack and either hung out of the way or in an canoe tethered from shore (bears). CG :yo:
I have a "tupperware" type box that's just big enough for a cardboard carton of six eggs.
Never had a problem.

Tupperware "beaker" container, and use oats for padding..... Could use something else that is suitable for padding like sugar, milk powder etc, and still suitable for other purposes...

Hope you remember to wash the eggs though, we all know where they've just come from!
Of course !!!
Wouldn't want a dirty feather floating in me brew would I
I have this six egg container (see pic) It works pretty well. You can take one of the eggs and put it in the little flat teapot and boil an egg and your tea or coffee at the same time.
Do you all like fried or boiled eggs? Normally I like fried, but sometimes if I am going to be hiking hard eating fried stuff for breakfast or lunch burns my stomach.

Slightly off topic [but only just]........ does anyone know where I can get powdered whole egg from?
I've asked before, and the usual supermarket suspects came up- Tesco, Lidl etc etc....... but I've been round them all with no success......... I even tried a commercial bakery to no avail........ any suggestions?

Just scroll down until you find the tube of powdered eggs.
P&P is about £1.50 according to the site.
hope this helps.
