Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome has a chapter about trying to open tinned peaches without a can opener.
For you older veterans, I still carry a P38.
Just bang it on a rock.
An odd bit of history, the can opener was invented almost 50 years after the tin can.
Didn’t the English once lose a battle because nobody had a screwdriver to open the boxes of ammo?
Rub the end of the can vigorously on a rough surface, like a rock. You will wear away enough of the solder to break off the lid.
