Dry sausages (which includes real pemmican and jerky) can be kept in a cool, dry place nearly forever. I've had jerky make it well over a year.. If they get wet at room temp, things change and you should assume spoilage almost at once. Pre-Cooked but not dried sausages (Hot Dogs fit into this category) can survive a long time too, in that they usually have a lot of preservative -- natural or man-made (or both) in the mix. At 42F, I'd say you could keep these in the package for 4-5 weeks -- and honestly maybe a lot more. Open, I'd go no more than a week. Fresh sausage (uncooked) should be treated like hamburger. It can stand a few days covered in a 42F refrigerator but, like hamburger, there is a risk if you let it stand much more than that. Frozen solid, any of these can keep indefinately.
