Ok, so, what would a "Prepper" blog be with out some interesting "Prepper" information on it, right?  I found these two You Tube videos interesting.  The first is how you can open a can of food, or for that matter, any tin can, by just using a spoon or concrete.  Of course, I have my trusty P-38 military issue small lightweight can opener and a pocket knife with a can opener on it but lets just say you don't have either of those and you have some tin cans of food you need to open.  Here is the first video.

Now, if you don't have matches or any other fire source, here is a way you can start a fire using just a 12 ounce soda can, a bar of chocolate and a paper towel.  Ok, if you have attended my Bug Out Bag class, you know that I have several different ways to be able to start a fire, even in wet weather, but if you only had those three items, here is a perfectly good way to waste a chocolate bar but start a fire.  LOL.  WARNING  Do NOT eat the chocolate bar after you rub it on the aluminum can.

Have fun with your food storage.
