Pickled eggs. That's right. All you have to do is hardboil the eggs, peel them, put them in a jar, and fill it up with vinegar. And no refrigeration is needed. Then your eggs will last several months, at least.
If you want, you can throw other things in the jar with the eggs. For example, you could put garlic cloves or jalapeno slices in there. This will give the eggs a little flavor. Just let them sit for at least a month before you eat them.

You could use a 5-gallon if you can ensure there’s an airtight seal. You’re probably better off using a jar.
