So I just stumbled on this video, and I thought it could be useful to you guys!
Check it out!
My flash player is too much of a dick to let me get the audio, and the subtitles are in french, so in case the audio is also in french:
All you need to do is to scratch the top of the can against asphalt/concrete/whatever, and then squeeze the top and it should pop out...
But the video itself is pretty much self-explainatory

Could be useful if you just got your stuff stolen and find cans in a dumpster
 
:) I've seen vid or vids posted here before that has the same concept, but not this one. But hey this guy makes it look real easy! Cool! Hehe - and I've been in that position (camping, not traveling) before. But with hammer and screwdriver - you can do whacha have to do in order to eat, although somewhat messier hehe. Thanks!
 
Yea I thought of this technique when I saw the thread title. I havnt had much luck with it tho because it seems tedious and I've always had a can opener or something. Id probly try to puncture it with a sharp rock if I was in the woods.
 
Ahaha yeah, and not everyone would think to bring an hammer for camping lol

hehe - Used to camp on the fly - be riding around and yeah lets stay here - hell got a tent in the back - but lo and behold nothing to put the stakes in the ground. Enter stumbling around in the dark trying to find a decent sized rock hehe. Doing that a couple of times led to purchasing ye ole "car hammer". Hehe and the group we hung with for many years relied on that car hammer as well.
 
I was eating with some shwilly kids once and an inebriated punk spent nearly 10 minutes scraping a can on concrete trying to show me "the real man way to open a can." He didn't figure it out and we ended up using my can opener :')

Edit: so now I know wtf this kid was trying to do
