i like bacon1

Had to say that!

Now, I have not read the thread, jsut the OP.

I live in bacon and all things pork and fatty land.

Bacon, well smoked/cured will be fine raw for at least a week!

I have taken it to the beach with me and spent a week car camping, blazing hot days, etc, andthe bacon was fine at the end of the week for a breakfast fry up.

Gratned carrying all ready cooked saves the greasy mess you with the raw stuff.... so I think the cooked bacon will last a very long time ...

I have eaten cooked bacon, left on my counter top several days later....

edited to add... we hang smoked sides of bacon, well, chunks of it, a whole side will not fit, in our pantry! Currently the temp outside is 38 C... that is in teh 100 F range, bacon been there since round Easter, still tastes fine to me.... granted the temp in the pantry is a cool 30 degrees C.... what's that, like 85 F?
