Given the serious implications, it's hard to give advice on a forum like this.

I have eaten pickled hard-boiled eggs in a bar and survived.

How were they prepared? The jar had a commercial manufacturer's label on it. Vinegar and salt were involved. That's all I know.

Be advised that eggs packed like that won't be shelf stable. They probably would last quite a bit longer in the fridge than a regular boiled egg. To make them shelf stable you'd have to heat them up to pressure canning temp, which would probably result in some really gross eggs!

I do have a commercial grade chamber vacuum sealer. It might be interesting to try it out sometime.

Dried aggs have been a survival/camping staple for a long time, and are available on amazon

each #10 can contains the equivalent of 85 eggs.

Alternatively, a recipe for 1000 year old eggs:
"Thousand Year Old Eggs" are really only about 100 days old.

Duck eggs are used instead of chicken eggs.

The raw eggs are buried in the ground in a mixture of clay, lime, salt, tea and straw. I have seen recipes calling for pine ash instead of clay.

This mixture leaches into the shell and egg, making the interior smooth and creamy—like a ripe avocado in texture.

The yolk turns a vivid green and the white various shades of yellow, blue and green. It has been compared to the colors of a black opal.

To eat them, wash the eggs clean, shell them and slice into quarters. The flavor is rich, pungent and cheese-like.

I have not looked for them specifically but am told that you can buy these eggs in American Chinese markets where they are called Pine Flower Eggs.

Or you could store protein by raising chickens-it's getting trendy.

nursemike... does a balut count? had one in the Phillipines after consuming a lot of adult beverages...

I haven't tried out my All American canner yet... wonder what a 1/2 pint of pressure canned scrambled eggs would keep like

I've yet to use any recipes myself, but I've started doing some reading on Chef Glenn's BackpackingChef.com site and he has some really good information on making your own backpacking food, including proteins.

You might be able to get some good idea's from him.

I checked his breakfast recipes page and this was his take on eggs:

I eat eggs almost every day at home, but eggs don’t make my backpacking foods list. Who wants to choke down reconstituted powdered eggs? To replace some of the protein that I normally get from eggs, I work dehydrated ham into my grits and rice recipes or eat ham on the side like crispy bacon.

I can't say I completely disagree, though I haven't tried using powdered eggs, I have eaten a few Mountain House dehydrated egg meals and I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea smile.

I was thinking something like an "egg loaf"... solid jar of scrambled eggs, scooped out with an ice cream scoop

You have got too much time on your hands, my friend. The canned eggs will lack the piquancy of the balut supplied by the tiny, crunchy little beak...

The eggs would probably come out and have the texture and appearance of yellow rubber due to the pressure canning process which is very high temperature along with the cooking times required.

Growing up, my mom and grandmother would at times, can pickled eggs. Today, given the more scientific information and advances in safe canning methods, I would never can any type of eggs. You are much safer health-wise to purchase any type of canned eggs such as pickled from a commercial source.

If you are looking for ways to store protein based foods, there are much better options out there...
