When I had planned to do some extended time on a sailboat I had discovered a few things. No all things need to be refrigerated. To my suprise eggs don't nessisarily need to be refrigerated expecially the ones right out from under the chicken. The protective membrane beneth the shell keep the insides protected. However washing the egg may provide a way for bacteria to enter. It is suggested to just wipe the egg clean with a dry cloth and consume with in a month.
Other foods such as things pickled don't require refrigeration. Thats how food was preserved before the time of refrigeration.
However the products of dairy & meat need to be close to the ice.
