Not much anymore. We used to load up canning supplies in pick up and head out to farm country with RV. Usually late summer. Sort of fun in a state park spending the day canning. Had a little 3 burner stove that sat right on picnic table and extra bottle of propane. Lots of newspaper for peelings. We haven't done our canning trip for several years. And not much of a savings if that's your plan. And the canning supplies you'll get a work out to ...load up (empty), unload empty, fill up, load back (full)into truck, unload at home, and then put away. And then get them jar by jar as you use them. But still good, don't know why we stopped really.
Couple months ago we did bring home a 1/2 steer with freezer in pick up bed. Generator keeping freezer going. Now there's a money saver, about 50-60% less than retail. But more less a neighbor thing with in-laws.
Corn, jams and jellies was our main "put up for later use".
Thanks for bring it up in posting, I kind of miss it.
