[Philmont]: RE: CAN OPENERS@ PHILMONT

On the new food list for Philmont they are distributing cans of tuna ECT.. in
their meal packages. Does anyone know if these require a can opener? Or are
these flip top?
     I came to find out some good trivia, Those small sea rashion can openers
are called P-39's. In WW 2 the pilots would refer to the japanese ships as
tin cans & the P-39 plane was the aircraft that sunk them, hence P-39 can
openers.
