March 9th, 2010 | by admin |My husband and kids are going camping for 3 days and want to take bacon with them but dont want it to go bad after the first day. He (My husband) wants me to cook it halfway so that he dont have to put it in the cooler and it stay good is this possible and if so how do i do it.
fry it crisp yourself and vacuum seal it…I do that on my canoe trips…its just fine….the pre packaged stuff by Hormel is OK but this way I get to use my Fav brand of Bacon,.not somebody Else’s fav…your choice

Anything you buy at a modern grocery store will have to be fully cooked and refrigerated.
"Real" old fashion bacon is brined in salt until cured (chemically cooked), then smoked in a smoke house to preserve the meat. It’s not quite the same thing sold now-a-days. It keeps for weeks just wrapped in paper.
Ask at a butcher shop….try trail baloney….or jerky….canned corned beef….

Not a good idea without putting it in the cooler. I once bought slab bacon because it stays fresh longer, but still put it in the cooler. You don’t want to take a chance on getting sick, so insist it goes into the cooler. Perhaps he needs the room in the cooler for the beer? If so, leave that out till you get to camp, then put it in the cooler or it also gets nice and cold in a stream too.

buy the precooked bacon sold in plastic bags does not need to be refrigerated until opened. Hormel among others make it.

don’t half cook anything ever…pick your favorite brand,cook as much as you can eat(allow for the outdoor air appetite) and fry it good and put it in baggies or seal it like somebody above said…just protect it from crumbling or they will be eating bacon bits…BTW I have had the precooked kind…pass
