If you keep your house air conditioned the butter in a butter dish will be fine for a week or two.
Even without AC it will last quite a while.
I don't think I have ever had it go bad, I use the stick before it goes bad.

My FIL had a grocery store. For some 40 years, eggs came in unrefrigerated. And were stored in the stock room without refrigeration.
Then the health department decided they needed to be refrigerated. No reason, someone got a bright idea.
Mine doesn't turn moldy.
Typically the fat content is too high for mold to grow.
Other countries eggs are in non refrigerated section of stores.
My son raises chickens and quails. Eggs that are not washed (straight from the animal) will stay fresh for weeks unrefrigerated. I've eaten some of his after almost a month. Wash just before cracking the shell
I think a coating of mineral oil will do the trick to preserve them too.
I bought a U-Bolt style bike lock (Abus) recently. Before I bought it I used my Google Fu to check how easy they are to pick, cut, break, etc. and hit the YouTube channel of lockpickinglawyer.
After watching a bunch of his videos, I am convinced that a simple lock picking set (bought or home-made) should be part of any bug out bag.
Dumb question but at what point do lock picking tools become burglary tools? Is that completely subjective if a police officer is somehow going through your stuff?
I keep bolt cutters in my bug-out bag (in case I need to escape from the FEMA camp!).
In most states, owning lock pick tools is only considered a crime if you use them illegally...
Owning a lock pick set is illegal in Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia...
In Mississippi, you can own a lock pick set, but concealment is considered prima facie evidence.
In Tennessee, the laws are vague, but it appears you can own lock pick tools if you're not using your skill for profit.
