the post about the LDS and their canning kitchens got
me thinking about this Spam can problem again..i may
have run this by in another post sometime ago but i'll
take another swing at it..does anyone have any idea where
one could buy empty Spam type cans??i have tryed EBay
and the Hormel company has cans but they are gift shop
type things..banks and such..and i don't want a entire
run of cans that would fill a truck..i idea is of course
to fill the can with survival gear and seal it..a Spam
can is about the right size to be carryed around in a
day pack or jacket pocket and when open could be used
as a cooking pot and sealed and weatherproof it would
keep one from being tempted to open it for a small item
you should have with you anyway..matches..energy bars..
i have thought about using just a normal can..like beans
or fruit come in but the oval shape of a Spam can seems
like it would carry better...paint stores carry empty
press lid cans but the size and shape are not right..
the old Storm Kits in the tire patch cans were perfect
but metal tire patch cans are long gone and the ones found
on Ebay are approching the "junk" stage now that they
are so old and rusty at best..
