While spoons are always available, can openers are not. In many situations, you might find yourself in need of a can opener only to discover that you forgot to buy one. Hopefully, this won’t happen to you in a survival situation, where you have stocked all the cans for doomsday, and when it came you realized you forgot to get a can opener lol.
I’ll be honest, a spoon will never be my first choice for a can opener, that’s what survival knives are there for. But just in case, this is a nice trick to have up your sleeve.
The main idea is that you’ll rub against the edge of the can with the tip of the spoon until you are able to puncture it. Click on the link below for more details and a video demonstration on tiphero.com
