Introduce the recipe and the importance of eggs for camping and road trips.

Use local eggs from a country store, mentioning they are special.

Fill a saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs about an inch deep.

Set up a propane stove and ensure you know how to operate it safely.

Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high to bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, cover the saucepan to speed up the boiling process.

Reduce the heat to maintain a slow boil and set a timer for 15 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

Monitor the boiling to prevent the water from hard boiling, which can crack the eggs.

After about 4 minutes, check for bubbles to confirm the water is heating up.

Adjust the heat down to maintain a gentle simmer to avoid cracking the eggs.

After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and carefully remove the eggs from the hot water using a slotted spoon.

Prepare an ice bath with cold water and ice to cool the eggs for easier peeling.

Transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them sit for 10 minutes to cool down.

Peel the eggs and enjoy with salt and pepper.
