Preserve Eggs in lime water.

that's it, that's the suggestion.  it's a historic preservation method for eggs. the should last almost 2 years that way. make it so we can put stacks of 64 of them in barrels full of lime water.

Welcome to the forums. This is a great idea.

Agreed its a cool idea, you should also be able to use Ash collected from burning stuff to create Ash Water, it does the same thing.

And to go full circle, you can make lime from egg shells.

However, real lime water is made from quicklime . Lime (calcium carbonate) isn't soluble enough to do much.

Alkali collected from wood ash was historically used for a lot of things, including making soap.

And both lime and wood ash can be used for fertilizer. The latter was a common source of potash (hence the name, "pot-ash", extracted from ashes in a pot), as well as a way to raise pH. (As an aside, it's really weird that you have to boil powdered sylvite to make potash, which makes a pot unusable for food, when sylvite is potassium chloride, which is unaffected by boiling and can be used as a no-sodium salt substitute.)
