Anyone that does normal canning (in my experience) has the proper storage room in place already with shelves that is nicely tucked out of the way, in a cool, mostly or completely underground, damp-ish place.
My gram told me she has been using the same jars for over 35 years.
I believe he was considering transportation issues. I wouldn't want to stuff jars of food in my BOB, but some cans wouldn't be an issue.
Thats right!
Most people use the Glass Mason Jars, I wasn't sure there was/were things available for Steel Canning but there is. The rest of the processes is the same as you would Canning Mason Jars.
It also came up in other forums, Someone wanted to ship them.
Shipping Glass Jars is not a problem, But can be a Hassle in Packing because their needs to be extra protection in packing to protect the Jars. Its still not 100% protected. A Steel can would protect from that, also with no light transmission through the Container. Its Nutritional content will last longer.
