Well, the first description of a "Coffee Can Kit" I read used two coffee cans, placed top to top and rolled in a blanket. The ends of the blanket roll were tied shut and then tied together and slung over the shoulder, or possibly tied around the waist.

I agree, I certainly wouldn't recommend carrying the cans loose. I suppose the danger would be someone strapping the can on the back of a snowmobile; the lid could easily come loose with the shaking and bouncing, and the noise would be loud enough the driver would never hear his survival supplies crashing to the ground behind him. <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
