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.

Again, we put our fingers into the lock and press out a new dent, tilting the can to the other side.

Well, then we bend our arms in different directions back and forth.

Until the can breaks in the middle.

Of course, the method requires skill and special care, since the edges of the metal are very sharp.And it won’t be difficult to cut yourself if you’re not careful. Therefore, this opening method is recommended to be used only as a last resort.
