8 Soda Can Survival Projects

Post by Hamradioop »

found this on YouTube interesting projects from empty soft drink cans. I certainly never thought of these ideas.

I thought the whistle was a fantastic idea - something I would never have thought of. I loved the simplicity of it and how you can premake and carry it with you without anyone even realising you had it. Fantastic

Interesting ideas , I may just have a play with the whistle thing myself.
To add a ninth , some time ago while a good distance from home the exhaust broke on my car. By luck I found a can , and I always remember it was a Guinness can , cut the ends off and slit it down its length and wired the two ends of the exhaust together which sufficed to get me home and not sounding totally like a tractor all the way.
