Eggs in A Bag FTW! I used to eat these all the time when I went camping. Tasty, sanitary and easy to make... you can't go wrong.

I am trying to figure out why you need to go to the extra effort when you can just cook them in the pan? Are people really this lazy these days? Is this all because you don't want to clean a skillet?

I am not going to click the link but I assume it's what I have been doing for years.
Mix ingredients, "seal a meal" it. Boil at campsite for an easy, no clean breakfast.

5 or 6 eggs for yourself? With steak in there? Holy Lord that is a ton of food, I usually fill up on a two egg omelette, especially if there is meat in there, and I'm a big guy.

You're a big guy but DrPizza is a man.

I would be willing to try this if the melting temp of the plastic was above the boiling temp of the water, otherwise this is just stupid.

I prefer to have my "omelettes" without a side of polyethylene. Thanks.
