It's a good thing that Tide Pods are packaged in an easy to open bag. :lol:

Too funny!! A few years back I visited a "prepper" board, one of the threads was how to open canned food without electricity. Suggestions ranged from a hatchet :o , to scraping the can on concrete until the top fell off, then I guess you just eat off the concrete when the contents fell out. I posted the pic below and said why not just include one of these in you preparations? No one had any idea what it was nor did they know a simple paring knife will do the same thing. And these are the people that think THEY will repopulate the planet after the apocalypse!

You guys have to get out more. Many soup cans have a pull tab for opening without any type of can opener. Who needs to be a prepper? All I need is a list of preppers and where they live, that's my preparation plan.

That's OK, a buddies son told him he saw a "new" way to cook popcorn. "Put some grease in a pan, heat the pan on the stove with corn kernels in it, and they "magically" morph into popcorn".
Who knew?
The can opener video was painful to watch. :?

I used to frequent an off grid board years ago and learned some stuff until tech got bigger and it got full of silly things such as has been listed so far. It went from people moving to off grid locations away from towns to surviving in urban areas. Its amazing how little common sense many people have.

I attended a meeting here in Chatt about 3 years ago....never went back. These people would cry if they were in my hunting camp in Nov. in Maine. I still have a P38 and several other old can openers....Experience and hardship are the best teachers.
