What’s the best way to pack eggs for a camping trip?

For hiking, back-packing, camping and boating, when refrigeration facilities aren’t available, buy dried eggs from supermarkets or sporting goods stores and reconstitute them with purified water. Note that neither petroleum jelly nor wax is either antibacterial or a preservative. Coating shell eggs with petroleum jelly or wax is not a suitable substitute for refrigeration.
