Survival Hacks for Opening Canned Food
Survival hacks are tricks to help you get out of a bad situation whether it’s out in the woods or right in your own home. No one really knows when a local or global disaster would strike and it is this fact that we preppers have to be ready for. Even if we have all supplies ready, there is no guarantee that everything will be smooth sailing in the face of any disruptive event.
In our usual mindset that we have to be prepared for when things go wrong, there is a need to have the skills to be able to deal with SHTF situations better. It’s not always about the supplies or equipment because these things will inevitably run out or break down after some time. For this reason, we start from the most basic resource: our own selves. Here is where survival hacks, or the knowledge of these, will come in handy.

It would not be wise to rely on material things for survival so we need to start with the necessary skills. Take the time to learn as many survival skills and survival hacks as you can because you never know when they will be able to save your life and those you care for. If you have mastered these hacks and skills, then you can be more confident to say that you have a better chance of getting out of SHTF situations than you did before.

HOW BOUT JARS THAT ARE SO TIGHT I CANT OPEN IT BECAUSE I HAD A STROKE ? THANK YOU DAVE THOMAS ZEBULON NC
Try pounding on the bottom of it (like you’re trying to burst that bubble that’s in it). Makes things A LOT easier, I’ve noticed.
Dear Dave: I’m now 67 and my boyfriend is 75. We both used to be stronger but are also quite sure they’ve made a lot of stuff close to impossible to open. Get a pair of ladies’ rubber gloved. You know, the kind Mom used to wash dishes in the fifties and sixties. Take the glove and wrap it around the jar lid or beer cap on a 40. Twist hard. It WILL open! God bless you, my friend!
I forgot to mention these ladies’ gloves are YELLOW and the cuff pushes back. We now refer to these as the Beer Gloves. “Honey, get a beer glove and open my 40!”
