How do you boil an egg on an open fire? with no pot and no water....?

cutieee

Another great way is to wrap the egg in damp moss and set it in the fire... it will heat the egg slowly and evenly in steam... no need to open it pre cooking.

if it was me making it i would poach it in that bowl

[mcsparron]

@massey565man or a pan? gas hob? boil it before you left? birch bark basket? there are a number of ways to do it...

[Dolphindream15]

REALLY COOL I have always said its time to get back to the basics in life before we forget,,,

You should have got some of those clover leaves and flowers next to your fire and put em in with that egg, great video man.

lol yea thats proly a good reason... kool idea tho, ive seen this done before but on one of those bigass ostrich eggs, never thought about trying it on a chicken egg. So thanks! just another handy option to add to my wilderness skillset.

[KAPichon]

it shouldnt take 45 minutes to cook one egg.... use more coals next time, the higher the heat level the faster the cook time.

[mcsparron]

@KAPichon yeah i know... but it was fun none the less! its also probably because the first one exploded and i didnt reset the timer...

[Raioh87]

@mcsparron Hahah, the exploding eggs, experienced it myself today :P

[Arthos455]

if you need to do this you should only do it if u are low on food the egg can have many toxins that you do not wont to have a stomach virus when surviving

[mcsparron]

@Arthos455 thank you for that comment. as someone who teaches survival for a living i am inclined to agree, however, i work in various jungles around the world and have used this method COUNTLESS times to avoid doing the washing up and never once been sick...

[ChrisHagadol]

lol when i saw you just got a bowl next to you ;)

[mcsparron]

@ChrisHagadol what? i dont understand what you mean....

[ChrisHagadol]

@mcsparron at 2:05 you have a pot right next to you and that made me grin ^^

[recryl]

@mcsparron I think what ChrisHagadol means is that it is funny that you only use the bowl to deshell the egg, rather than actually cooking the egg in it. But of course, that would still require water. Interesting video!
