Tips and Tricks / Survival Techniques
Trick: If you do not have a can opener, turn the can upside down and rub it on concrete. There is a thin layer of aluminum on the ridge of a can. Rubbing it on concrete will allow you to remove the lid completely. WARNING: This will also leave the can with extremely sharp edges.
Tip: Opening a can, using the previous method, will give to a nice cutting instrument. Fold the lid in half to give you an instrument to cut items like small pieces of wood, meat, etc. Find a sturdy stick. Bend the folded lid to conform to the end of the stick and secure with duct tape. You now have a hunting knife for small game and fish.
