If you are in camping or lost and do not have a metal pot or anything else to boil or grill an egg, here's the survival way to cook the egg with a potato. It tastes delicious as well.

What do we need?

1. A potato (the potato shall be bigger than the egg)
2. An egg
3. A spoon
4. Some matches sticks
5. Some charcoal or woods for fire

Here are the steps:

1. Prepare the fire, probably from some dried woods.
2. Wait until the flame is burn down a little bit. We just need the heat with no flames, like charcoal.
3. While the fire is burning down we can prepare the potato and the egg.
4.  Make sure the potato is bigger than the egg.
5. Then we need to cut or slice the top of the potato a little bit. Not on the small top but on the long and wide side. (As if you are lying down a potato, cut the top a bit)
6. Then you want to get a spoon to dig out some potato to remove the flesh so the egg can be put inside
7. Break the shell and put the egg inside the potato.
8. Add some match sticks on the top sliced potato and put the sliced top back to act as the lid.
9. Put the potato with the egg inside in the charcoal.
10. Keep it there for about 20 minutes to make it ready.
11. Get the potato. Be careful as it is hot.
12. Open the lid and check out the egg.
13. And what you have is a perfectly grilled egg.
