I dunno why people say opening a can with a P-38 is difficult. It only took me a moment.
I don't know what everyone complains about.

Easiest thing in the world… Are folks getting worked up about it or what?
ReplyDeleteComplaints about sore fingertips is what I see most often from using the P38.
DeleteBut, did you look close at the pic?
I should have added the /s/ or whatever it is the kids use to indicate sarcasm these days.
DeleteI tried the ole P-38 on my key ring for all of two days. I poked myself in the thigh and shredded pockets and never did try to actually mangle a can into submission. I found that a regular can opener just doesn’t add all that much weight to my camping gear, especially when I camp from the back of a 3/4 ton truck.
My old P-38 clicks closed and stays flat. The new one and the P-51 I just got doesn't so much. That's a pocket hazard!
DeleteHaven't heard the complaints, but my guess is that they have never been hungry enough to want to eat C-rations, and/or had the proper training. Heh.

It doesn't look nearly as easy as a swiss army knife, but if you're hungry you'll do what you gotta do to get a can open.
