How to open a can without a can opener

YouTube Description:

I learned this trick in Cody Lundin's book "When All Hell Breaks Loose." It works great and I actually use this most days to open my lunch.

Good video, when you would have to use a rock surface or something of the like in a time of need, it is good to know it is a rolled seal that can be "sanded" away. If all you had was a can of dog food doing that and them giving it a good " bash " on the corner would make opening up the goods more easy.


FOR SCIENCE !

And I have yet to see a practical can opener that always works cleanly.>> ^MonkeySpank:
FYI, practical can openers were invented 50 years after the creation of metal cans.



Really? I find these sort to be wonderful. Not that brand in particular, just the style of a horizontal blade that takes the whole top off rather than a vertical one that cuts the inside edge of the lid.

The horizontal kind work more often, for sure, but they still fail, and they leave the cans with very sharp edges at the top, which for me is worse than the failure rate of the vertical kind.>> ^spoco2:

There is a way to screw up opening a can with a can-opener? Never happened to anyone I know. What does that look like? Explosions?>> ^messenger:

Aha. That is the guy who has sanded off all the curbstones in our neighbourhood. Gotcha.

1. Great idea (if you don't mind the fine metal dust in your food).
2. He says he opens his lunch that way?
3. His eats canned stuff for lunch?

Spose it depends where and when you work, or what you work as. And if you have a can opener or not
