Over the past two years, there has been much talk of problems with canning lids not sealing. In this video, I provide my observations as a manufacturing expert on the construction and quality of several brands of canning lids and provide my opinion.
What’s your favorite brand?

Bushcraft Match and Fire Starter
American Made and Ready for Adventure
3-PACK
FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA
These Bushcraft Matches are great for starting fires. The wax-infused jute cordage will easily ignite using a ferrocerium rod. Once lit, the jute rope can burn for up to an hour providing ample opportunity to get a fire going. Once you're done, push the aluminum sleeve over the ignited end of the rope to snuff out the flake.
Simple!
Ways to use:
1. Fray the ends of the jute cord every time before lighting it. Twist and separate all the fibers to make the end fluffy, which is easier to ignite.
2. Aim the spark to the end of the tinder tube.
3. Once lit, use it like a match to start your campfire, grill, camping stove and so on.
4. Control the burning speed or extinguish the flame by pulling the rope into the tube.
A valuable part of any survival kit!

i have posted some comments on your you tube channel but they never show up, so i give up on that.
so take care and good luck.
I’ve only ever dealt with Ball, but like everything else, they just don’t make them the way they did 40+ years ago. I only do small-batch canning, but out of the last 4 dozen jars, I’ve had 2 that didn’t seal. Considering the massive quantities that my mother canned in the 60’s and 70’s, she never had more than 1 a year that was a problem.
Now, if you want canisters for dry goods, Mainstays lids and jars work fine. I just won’t trust either of them for canning.
This takes me back to when I was a kid. My mother canned a lot. Her specialty was pears.
If I had a nickel for every pear I pealed I would have been rich. She canned some of them with cherries and some with with cinnamon sticks. They were delicious.
