ration can cleanup trick

[Nawt]

Hi, I wanted to share this little cleanup trick with you .

It deals with the empty ration can known from the Dutch and French Rations and other disposables, and you are facing the fact that you have to/want to take your garbage along.
Here's how you could do that in a rather convenient way without struggeling with the empty can and particularly, the lid.

Say, after you have finished your rat and you feel again since it was really tasty .
Your empty rat should look like this: ( you did not pull the entire lid of )

Your other stuff could look like this (garbage):

garbage

Trick is to bend the 'pull to open tab' back inwards with two fingers holding the lid and tab so it does not seperate from the lid:

Bent over backwards tab

Put your garbage in the can and push the lid back in. The 'pull to open tab' will get stuck inside the can,
holding the lid down and the garbage in .

Another clean day in our lives
Note, for demonstration purposes it was performed indoors.

Cheers and stay happy!

Great idea!

That´s why German EPa´s have since their introduction a plastic bag. To collect the trash.

but not the newer epas.
the rcir also has plastic bags in it (in the stove box).

And every czech BDP has plastic bag too but better is to use cans from main meals, they are soft and you can make every shape you want
