You never know when you need to open a can without a can opener
Sure, the moments we actually might have to survive in the wild are sparse. Very sparse. However, you could be camping or the stores are closed and the only thing you have in your cupboard are cans, and your can opener just broke. You never know! And when that happens, we’ve got you covered with this trick on how to open a can without a can opener.
It’s like the trick that teaches you how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew: how big is the chance you might actually need it? But when you do, it’s mighty handy to know how to do it. And while opening a bottle of wine is never exactly a basic need, even though some nights it seems like it is, opening a can of food might save your life some day. Or at least it will save you from being hungry.
Luckily, the YouTuber ‘The Crazy Russian Hacker’ has made a very instructive video in which he clearly explains how to open a can without a can opener. How to do it? You’ll need a rough but flat surface like concrete or a sidewalk. Turn the can upside down and rub it across the surface quickly. Then turn it around and press the can from both sides. If you did it correctly, the lid will pop right off. If not, try rubbing it again. You never know when you need this trick to save your (or your cat’s) life.
