In the past, almost all foods had to be stored long term. You never knew when your animals were going to provide again and counting on food trucks to supply food to the local store was a luxury at best. This means the people had to come up with some creative methods of making sure their food lasted as long as possible.

It's amazing that simply burying your eggs in wood ash will keep them viable for up to 8 months at an 80% success rate. What's even more amazing is that lime water as it's presented in the video will keep your eggs good for years down the road. Not only is it 100% effective, it's also an incredibly cheap method. If you're considering storing your eggs for your homestead, that's got to be the way to go.
