It’s happened to even the best-planned of campers: forgetting that one item that can make or break your trip. In this instance, we’re talking about a can opener. Canned food is a popular choice for campers and adventurers due to the food being generally well-preserved, not needing any specific kind of storage to keep from spoiling. Another advantage is the animal-proofing provided by the metal containers, which not only masks the smell of food, but makes it challenging for an animal to get into, increasing the likelihood they’ll give up and wander off. If you’ve forgotten your can opener, don’t worry. Here are a few alternate methods for opening a can with the use of a knife, concrete, and even a spoon! As long as you have at least one of these items handy, you should be able to enjoy all that canned goodness without a can opener. So without further ado, here are three ways to open a can without a can opener.
