How to open a tin can with bare hands

Anything can happen in life. And if you went on a long hike. And it just so happens that you don’t have an opener or even a knife to open the jar, then this method will help you out.
Opening a tin can with bare hands is quite possible. To do this, you do not need to have any superhuman skills; this method is available to any average person.

Opening a can with bare hands


Remove the label from the jar so that it does not interfere. Place the jar flat and crumple it in the middle with your fingers. The metal is thin and bends perfectly.

Next, we put our fingers in a lock for reinforcement and squeeze the resulting deflection in the jar, tilting it to one side.

Then we turn the jar over to the opposite side and, just like the first time, make a dent with our fingers on the opposite side.

    The tin can is full and you can’t bend it, even fifth graders probably know about this. The easiest way is to find any brick stone and rub the end of the jar against it. Until you erase the bead. This will take from 5 to 20 minutes. Depending on how fast and how hard you rub the end of the can on a stone or brick.

      If you want to eat, you can bend it! The jar, let it be known, always has voids...he clearly showed you...But a suitable stone can be difficult to find in the forest..

    Valery, in the forest a jar is opened with a knife, spoon, fork, belt buckle. Any metal object. Or do you go into the forest naked?.. but with a can of canned food. ))
    In general, the situation when a person has a canned food, but there is no available object or means to open it - this is something out of the realm of cinematic fiction.
