How to Can Meat in a Pressure COOKER! (Food on a Boat)

Can you preserve raw meet in a pressure COOKER? The internet says no, but we have been doing it successfully for years, and in this video, I show you how I do it. I also talk about our food provisioning philosophy, why I’m no longer a vegetarian, some great uses for canned beef, and some surprising uses for mason jars, too.

We could talk for hours about food preservation, so if you have questions, please leave a comment below and we will answer it in a follow-up video! And please subscribe to our channel for lots of other do-it-yourself-on-a-budget content.
