Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on RUclips, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!
#survival
The plastic is thermo setting plastic and is sealed above boiling point to kill all bacteria to ensure whatever is inside doesn’t spoil…… so it won’t harm you unless the metal distorts and becomes charred! I worked as an engineer in a canning plant. Larz is exactly right!
Hey bud how long canned food last ....i know the sell by is liability cover, but whats the real date not dented rusted etc
@@Bucky1836 As an example. Army rations from the Vietnam war were opened and eaten some 45 years later as a test, the food had lost a lot of the actual taste but had no harmful bacteria… at all. A can is sealed at high temperatures and if the seal is unbroken, it’s essentially a time capsule.
@Mathey Burg what are you talking about? Thermo setting is a chemical reaction and nothing will happed to the plastic until 300C! the tin can will long have distorted/melted before this!
@@manomyth11 absolute rubbish, you have no evidence to prove this. You’re not partially right but totally wrong! You breath more toxins walking passed a petrol/diesel car! We had to carry out experiments on the cans and plastic linings every year to prove it did not contaminate the food. Once set the plastic gives off less toxins than the actual food in plastic lined cans!
Interesting! Would also help to explain why I've never in my life gotten sick from something out of a can. Sometimes I feel like that confidence causes me to eat too much processed food.
When you haven't eaten in a couple of days and you find these, all that superstition goes out the window.
@@klstacked Wait so... if you aren't in a "survival situation" the can will "affect" you more or something? ... I think Lars pointed out pretty well that it matters how you treat the can, above all else, especially since there is potentially no easy way to tell what kind of can you are dealing with. That's the point he makes also at the end that MOST canned products you buy from stores are pasteurized to extend shelf life - that means they are often heated to sanitizing temperatures during the process, and canned hot. So potentially there would be a way to carefully heat them, and even if it WERE dangerous, all the harmful crap would already have been cooked off or in the food anyway already....
It's not - canned food is about as safe as life in this day and age is itself - so all of this is just pointless.
Like you could be living in an abnormally high area of radiation right now. You could be exposed to all kinds of anomalies that may harm your health, at any time, for any reason. That's a fact too. What are YOU gonna do about it? Buy a Geiger counter or call me superstitious?
@@klstacked Perhaps superstition was the wrong word.
About approx. 1985, a TV program said scientist's experiments were being adversely affected, and they ended up blaming the plastic test tubes for being a female hormone "mimic" DNA
Background; Different types of food in cans require different types of coatings on the inside of the can. Example something like green peas or asparagus have a higher natural sulphur content, while tomato type packs have higher acidity.
The coatings used are will differ accordingly.
The materials used to manufacture these coatings will all be approved for food use, by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
When the cans are filled with the foodstuff they are also sealed and retort processed in autoclaves at around 121'C to kill of any potential bacteria.
It is perfectly fine to heat tins over a fire or coals.
The slight discoloration you may see in the coating before and after is probably caused by a phenolic type resin that have a tendency to yellow at high heat.
Its all fine
The yellow only changes color? It won't effect taste? I assume it just oxidizes then?
Microscopic amounts maybe, but yeah, I'm not worried about it. Remember, you can boil water in a paper cup without the cup burning too. People worry way too much! Good video Lars. That was fun.
You are aware that most paper cups are coated in polyethylene?
@@extriotic You can use a paper bag too. It's strange the way it works. The outside can't burn until the inside gets hot enough. "Cooking" food inside a can is really just warming it up. It's already been cooked at the factory inside the can to a hotter temp than what you will do. I worked several years in a salmon cannery in Alaska. Raw fish go's into the cans, then the cans go into a big pressure cooked for about an hour.
I never even realised that there was plastic inside cans. Learn something new every day. Great video Lars.
I dont think you could tell without sending off for lab analysis to see if the meat contained any different concentrations of chemicals that may have leeched out
You probably get more poison from vehicles exhaust on your daily commute than from a food can.
@@oxxnarrdflame8865 Both are made from Crude Oil...
Some people that are commenting are the smartest people they know and will never be convinced...Thank you Lars!!!
Cans today have a plastic of some type coating to help preserve what's inside I know this from working at pmp technologies in Peoria Illinois before I left there was supposed to be a law requirement that it be printed on the label not to cook in cans because of the pcbs
Interesting ,I do remember hearing again not so long ago that that once a can is opened that it should not be used to store the food in the refrigerator.
I believe your demonstration says it all Do not overheat. Enjoy your food.
Pretty much.
Simple genius of wiring the can. Thanx
I think you make a great point by heating the can over the fire Not in the fire. Well done on showing the the 2 cans for comparison. Great video!
It doesn't matter how it is heated. When the can with food in it is heated, the P B A that is in the plastic lining leaches into the food. P B A is an artificial estrogen which could eventually give a man boobies if he did this enough. It is worse for women because extra estrogen can give them cancer.
Interesting! It would seem that as long as there's liquid in the can to absorb the heat and the can is not heated too fast, the plastic liner should be fine.
Hello Lars! If the lining in canned fiod was in any way toxic to humans, it would not be used in the first place. I would be more concerned about all of the preservatives and sodium in the foods than the can liner...
The polymers used to line cans are a family of plastics. It's not 'one size fits all'. The coating used for a can of beer is not the same as the coating used for a can of tomatoes. Yes, constituents of those polymer coatings do end up in the food product, but as long as you're not eating out of cans regularly I wouldn't worry about it. As a rule, canned food products are inferior to fresh or frozen. Love the channel, Lars!
Aaaaarrr! You can't use a lighter, you have to rub two boyscouts together 😱🔥
Good one Lars, if I am ever in a position to heat up a can on a wood fire, this video will be remembered.
Thank you , Lars .
Tis Good to be back in the woods .
🐺
It is indeed!
WOW - THANKS!
- I was not sure if you were going to open the can with your hands again. :)
- Then you stated that "the best way to open a can is with a can opener", and chuckled a bit.
- Then you used a can opener implement on a pocket knife.
- That was priceless!
Thanks Again, and Greetings from Massachusetts USA, _John_
Here in America the inside of cans are coated with a type of resin to prevent corrosion. But most canned food is heated to 240 degrees Fahrenheit during production. I doubt heating the can like you did exceeded those temps.
Exactly my point :)
If there is one RUclipsr whom I wish sucess and support and all the good things, then it’s you Lars ! Thank you for making those videos , I learn a lot and I feel less alone on my own adventures knowing some crazy Dane crawling through the snow in Russia on the otherside of the globe -
Thank you Alex.
My best wishes to you.
keep up the good work. love your content!
Appreciate it!
Hi Lars, I don't think the issue with heating plastic lined cans, is not that you could consume the plastic. The problem is that the heat causes the plasticiser to leach out of the plastic into your food. Plasticizes can be carcinogenic. For more information look up Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)
Also look up Bisphenol-A. BPA mimics estrogen perfectly at the receptor site fooling your body into thinking it's recieving estrogen and so lowering your testosterone levels. It may look fine but I can guarantee it leeches out even if unheated.
@@scottjackson458 This was actually the compound I wanted to mention, but I couldn't remember what it was called. Thanks.
Hello from Oklahoma! Great Video!👋👋 I've heated things on my fires many times right in the can. Never a problem in my 63 years. This is probably a gimmick to sell more kit. But, who knows. Thanks for everything U do!👍👍 God Bless!
Thanks for the demonstration Lars. I have heated up beans in the can by the fire many times as a kid, and while working on heavy equipment I heated canned stuff on the motor. I'm still alive. I was told many things but I figured that if you don't burn the can your alright. Got to get by.
When I was driving semi cross country, I learned how to cook on the engine while driving. I've even baked dessert on the exhaust manifold that way.
They even have cook books for cooking on your engines.
On one run where I had to stop halfway up that long hill in West Virginia. The manifold was getting a little overheated going up that long hill, and I burned one side of my apple strudel.
I’ve heated cans over fire in a similar fashion and never thought about the plastic liner. Thanks for the info. Also, that black splittertarn jacket is awesome.
Plastic liners are relatively new.
I guess you have to ask if just the plastic is toxic at all, no matter what temperature it's put under.
Everything is toxic, even water, if You gulp down 5 liters, while sweating and dancing, with No intake of electrolytes.,
And. Please try som more round balls, pumpkin balls,. Your friend, Stan
You know, different diameter and so.
It,s not "Plastic".
It's epoxy. And it leaves traces of hormone inhibitors in everything that has been exposed, or on connection with the shit. That is my understanding of it.
I May be wrong. Find out yourselves.
Best wishes from me
Cool to see you here, just thumbed your latest video.
@@slabbedasken9422 I think "plastic" and "polymer" get used pretty interchangeably because plastic is a very well known(toxic) polymer. I am skeptical about eating any of these compounds.
it definitely leeches into the food. i wouldn't be concerned eating from a heated can a few times a week and heated gently, but everyday over a lifetime would sure make a difference.
I often warm the contents of canned food on the fire...I am sure I am getting some kind of by products, but not much...I only ever do it a few times a year to save weight when hiking / cycling...and I never put the can directly in the fire...just near the outer edge, enough to heat but not burn the contents. Most canned food doesnt need to be cooked anyway, so warming is fine. The need to carry cookwear means I will probably continue doing this a few times a year. I smoke cigs and can guarantee one cig is worse than one fire heated can of food.
Good to know. Keep prepping guys 👍
Immer vorbereitet sein, direkt mal Abo rausgehauen. 💪
@@nikolaikalashnikov4347 👍
I think it’s funny people are so concerned with the can giving them cancer and not it’s contents that have 50 ingredients that most of us can’t pronounce 🤣
Lars if you get the opportunity please compare the ingredients list on the label of canned pig meat to the ingredients in a can of Spam 👍😁
Ingredients in Spam are pretty simple: Pork with ham, salt, water, modified potato starch, sugar, sodium nitrite. Spam gets bad rep for being mystery meat but the worst it has is high levels of salt and nitrites, which many cured meats have. It's the frozen and refridgerated prepared foods you really need to watch out for. All kinds of added colors and preservatives that you don't need in traditionally canned foods.
@@YOSHIZERO
Yeah I have 4 cans of spam in my cupboard so I’m familiar with what’s in it…
Being that I’m in Canada and a rather remote part of it our grocery store is not the best but all canned meat I’ve found is heavily processed with nitrates and nitrites added with binders and it’s all in a ground meat format…. There are no options from a can that can even remotely be considered healthy or “simple” unless I make it myself.
Well.....for one thing, one's Pig Meat...the other is Spam! Saw a picture of a Spam once....vicious looking animal!!
HA! I'm joking of course!
@@MuskratOutdoors
I tried using some spam as bait for burbot a few weeks ago…. Pretty bad when a fish they Dub the “Lawyer” due to its eel like appearance, copious amount of slime AND it’s bottom feeding nature won’t touch a cube of spam…. I think nature knows best.
@@PuskwaskaOutdoors Works well for catfish here
Interesting can on the fire about the plastic! Cool test!
THANKS FOR THE LESSON KEEP TEACHING US YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Very good test . In my job we enter metal containers that are on fire inside for training . It can be 250 centigrade where we are ....on our knees and it can be 400 centigrade and above , above our heads , generally where the smoke is . Of cause we are wearing B/A sets and fire kit so although yes it's hot we are safe . How ever one of the demonstrations to show the cooling properties of water is to put two plastic cups , one full and one half full in front on the floor . At the end and bare in mind the temps , the full cup is fine and the half has melted down to the water level in the cup . I would say same principle works with the cans . Cool video Lars 🙂
I remember a young officer cadet heating a can of beans over a hexi stove inside her hootchie one morning. We all heard the explosion and wandered over to discover a whole mess of steaming beans and a neat hole through her hootchie where the red hot can had launched itself skyward. A hungry and miserable start to her day. !
Interesting test, great info!
Those old axes you have are awesome!
I was thinking the same thing!
They are :)
I carry always a few small cans of fish in oil for emergency with me, open the can and cover the oiled fish with a paper tissue and light it. It will burn long enough for a hot coffee, toasted bread and a pair of dried socks. The warm fish tastes very good. Greetings from Lüneburg,
North Germany
I wonder what kind of fish a German guy from Lüneburg would be eating lol
@@SurvivalRussia Sardines and Tuna- Fish in Oil. I carry them in case it is not possible to make a proper fire or if I am to lazy collecting fire wood.
For years two of my go-to t-shirts were one with a night splinter camo pattern like Lars' coat, and one in multicam like his chest rig. So this is making me oddly nostalgic lol
I believe originally they were just tin cans and then they started lining them tin & steel with lacquer and then probably in the last 30 years they've line them with food safe plastic and that helps keep the metallic taste away. It's all about heat transfer one of my favorite teachers in school was a science / physics teacher and we did all kind of practical experiments and we cooked scrambled eggs in a paper bag over a bunsen burner and that was all about heat transfer if you can pull the heat out of the container fast enough won't burn.
Good point!
6:53 It's zinc, yes.
Excellent video Lars, have you ever tried putting your food cans in boiling water to heat them up? We used to do it all the time when I was working on the pipelines in the middle of nowhere. Oregon in USA
We call it "water bath." Common in cooking as well, melting chocolate for glazing and such :)
@@SurvivalRussia ..me old man used to put any canned food item into the boiling water pot over the fire. The cans don't explode, you can wander off, let the fire die down and forget about it, but when you get back your food is still hot... Unc used to like the "whole chicken in a can"...
@@FeldwebelWolfenstool Chicken in a can that way has to be good! Wished I could find one nowdays!
When we were fed c-rations, we mostly ate them cold. Every so often, we got a treat. Yup! Hot c-rations. We would place the unopened cans in an immersion heater. The hot water heated the canned food just fine without contaminating the food, or so we were told.
Thanks again Lars. Wishing you and your family all the very best! ❤
Why this channel isn't at 500K subs yet is completely beyond me - surely worthy of AT LEAST that many by now. Please folks, let's all do our part to get him there. He's surely deserved it for a very long time! 👍
Just because you can’t see a difference doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference.
I used to "Boil" blueshells , in Norwegian "Blåskjell" when my pals an myself were hungry as Kids.
In a tin can, over open fire.
We did not die.
But it's not good for anyone.
Please use the internet for information
"Epoxy in canned food"
English: Bisphenol A
European: Bisfenol A
Best Channel on RUclips..!
Canned foods have a plastic liner. But Teflon coated pots and pans are also plastic. And it's in most households. Also Spam is cooked in the can. So I'd say it is completely fine.
Many canned good still used BPA liners, aka Bisphenol-A .. ( the melting point for BPA is only 155 C , which even when only boiling the contents of a container outside of direct fire, the metal will easily reach such temps ) BPA can leech into foods even without heating, and they mimic natural endogenous hormones in the body, they can mess with estrogen and testosterone levels. BPA when heated would leech into food in much higher amounts, and of course heating it can create unstable and unpredictable changes to the chemical that would likely be even more toxic & carcinogenic. It is possible to get BPA free canned foods now, however none of them are intended to be used as a container to heat the food, esp directly over a fire or grill. Personally I will always use a stainless steel or titanium container when I am cooking outdoors. I use a stainless nalgene bottle for my main water bottle so I know I have a fire safe container that can be used to boil water safely, and in a pinch it could be used to heat food, although it would be a pain to clean.
👍👍👍
Interesting.
For the concerned, perhaps heating the can in a pot of boiling water would be a safer option.
Its how ive done it crack it then in to water
Of course.
@@Bucky1836 👍
@@SurvivalRussia 👍
That’s the best way
As kids we here in New Zealand always cooked our cans of food on fire when at the beach playing all day
Even “BPA Free” cans will release dangerous compounds…it’ll be in the same of compounds just not the BPA compound exactly. Most of this could be mitigated by allowing the cans to sit for a few weeks to allow the gases to fully escape, but financially this is not possible in the manufacturing process. I managed an industrial bottling plant until 2013.
They release this when heated or all the time under storage conditions?
@@didymussumydid9726 The food is full of microplastics prior to canning, and then again prior to heating.
@@didymussumydid9726 they will leach out on their own, but heat and UV light can accelerate it.
We're all fucked from all this toxic shit we put in everything and everywhere 😂
@@joshuadeanb Can you say if the canning lids (white center, red ring) used on glass Mason jars would release these or similar chemicals?
Another great video Lars. Thank you for your output.
Lars! Garlic, chaga, fat back, and everything is awesome. Love ya buddy. Deputy dawg attack battalion.
Great video, Lars! Very useful information. Take care.
Since most canned good have a good deal of water content and you bring that to a slow boil the temp of the can probably never gets much above the boiling point of water ..so basically your around 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C..now if you boil all the water content out then the can will get super hot and you'll a have extra crispy meal with melted plastic..the key is to cook it slow and steady until it's nice and hot on a cold day in the field.
8:35; nice old axe heads!
This video made me think back to many years ago when I was a young boy . I did not know you should not heat a can of baked beans close to the fire when it is sealed with no vent holes . Luckily I wasn't close to it when it exploded and became a flying hot bean anti personal device . A lesson was learned that day .
I have a moron here in the comments claiming he heats his cans this way....
@@SurvivalRussia I was ice fishing when the can exploded . super hot pork and beans shot at least five meters .
Lovely axe handle, it is holding up well too! :)
The meat is already cooked inside the can with the plastic already in there. Cooking it again won't do anything more then what has already happened. Or do people not know how canned food is made?
They don't. I can in glass jars.
Good point, I am pretty sure the contents are sealed in hot. Sterile without air, hence last a long time
So some BPAs will have leaked into the food. The big (unanswered) question is are BPAs really harmful at low doses!
hi lars ...hmm interesting demostration hmmm keep up the great videos
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT ONE LARS!!!
Many many years ago my Physical Education lecturer told our class that the only food that he eats out of a can is vacuum sealed walnuts.
Very cool and interesting. Thanks Lars
The heat definitely increased the leeching should be safe as long as you don't eat from a heated can every day
Love the video thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Under normal atmospheric pressure, water cant exced 100 degrees c, or 212 F. That's the whole point of double boilers. Most common plastics melt around 450 degrees ferinhight. That's why you can boil water in a plastic water bottle hanging over a fire, without the bottle melting.
Thanks, Lars! Great lesson, for today!All of those years up in the Sierria, s ,eating beans & bangers out of can , heated over a camp fire, washing it down with a Bud Wiser, was not a bad thing , after all! It, s all good! There you go!😀👌
Eventually, we are all going to meet, Paul at the pearly gates!So....?🤔 Eat on!Life is too short!
Here's what ChatGPT had to say...
Q: Are most plastic liners in cans 'camp fire safe'?
A: It's difficult to make a general statement about the safety of plastic can liners, as different types of plastic can have varying levels of heat resistance and safety. However, many cans with plastic liners are designed to be heated, including those used for canned soups, stews, and vegetables. The plastic liners in these cans are typically made from materials that are safe for food contact and have been tested to ensure that they are heat resistant and do not leach harmful chemicals into the food during heating. However, it is always best to check the label or manufacturer's information to determine if the plastic liner is suitable for use over a campfire or high heat source.
So I would tend to agree with Lars... be sensible about it.
But by the same token, I would not make a daily habit of it.
Thanks for that great video, and all that good stuff and what not blah blah blah. ☺
My grandfather lived to be 92, and smoked like a chimney. He used to say “everyone is going to die from cancer, unless something else gets them first.”
Hi Lars, first of all, I just found your channel and admire your real world perspective. I carry the same helicon tex chest pack. I live and work in the desert south-west ( Arizona USA). I expect we are similar in age. I had the opportunity to travel to Moscow in the 80’s while in the USAF. I wish I had the opportunity to experience the Russian culture you talk about. I am sure my experience was well scripted. Likewise, if ever you have the opportunity to visit the US I hope you are able to experience the American culture absent the political influences. I appreciate your cultural perspective and I would hope you be be fortunate enough to experience the same. -all the best
Great video Lars!
You make it look so easy !
Wow 🤩 👍🏻 great video 😊❤
The cans used to be welded with lead, bit that stopped some time ago.
Good video Lars , have a great week , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks, you too!
...way back, before plastic, I believe that they used conifer tree oleo resins to line the inside of the tin cans....
A point not made is the paper labels not burning. Water and the vessel containing it will not exceed 100c or 212f you can boil water in a paper cup hanging from a shoestring.
Cook canned food on fires all my life no problems except the snak pak can of peaches that I forgot. It exploded like a grenade, even put the fire out. That was 50 years ago.
Me and a friend were camping illegally...had a fire, some angry person walks up to yell at us...as they are yelling, a can of ravioli burst and got all over her. Woops lol
You set the delay fuze on the ravioli perfectly didn't you! Lol
Very nice video Lars I liked it a lot.
I miss metal lard pails... hi from 🇨🇦
How about a video on the assorted ax heads on your work bench? 😊
My day bag has a mess kit and water bottle and german surplus INOX eating utensils. It's just too simple to carry a small kit along and be ready anywhere.
That's not "plastic" at all, the lining does contain chemicals that work as hormones in the human body. Heating the can does set free much more than normal, if you do this often you are going to get an effective dose. Putting the can directly into fire or on the stove produces even higher temperatures where nobody can tell you what kind of reactions are happening between the metal, the lining and the food.
No, the can will only get as hot as the liquid inside it!
Correct.
It doesen't have to be heatet at all to contaminate the Foods. Please look it up. The only canning Company I know of is the former Norwegian sardine canning Company, "King Oscar" now owned by a Thai business consortium, they make sure nor to feed people Bisphenol A.
Lars, my friend. Look it up.
Obviously, like " Gammel Dansk, and exessive amounts of beer did not kill me at once, something is coming, .........
@@SurvivalRussia And this is the principal behind that most Canadian of 'camping tricks', boiling water in a paper sack.
OR! Pre "burn" the can like you do with a new stove, to get all the delicious yuckyness out. 🤷♂️
I like to put the unopened can next to the fire or put it in a box and burn it. The can will pop out like it's spoiled, perfect temperature.
Food cans in the USA are lined with plastic! Same with soda cans!
I don't know the science in detail, but my guess that heating must cause some leaching from the plastic. I knew a packaging engineer a long time ago. Must be 30 years ago. He specialised in plastic bottles, such as a well known top brand ketchup bottle. He said this thin plastic was very complicated, and constructed from many layers, like a space suite, each layer had a function. He implied that the packaging wasnt safe. So if these bottles leach with no heat, then they must leach with heat. Having said that, my guess is that the meat is cooked in the tin, hence the gap around the meat when you open it. Very interesting topic. 👍
It's about the liquid. It's possible to boil water in paper cup. But i wouldn't fry dry meat etc in the can.
If cooking on a fire put plastic in the food, then it's already in the food anyways. Why do I say that? Because those cans were commercially retort processed. They were filled, sealed, and then held at probably well over 120C under high pressure for quite some time to sterilize the contents. The pressure only exists to keep pressure down (i.e. keeping steam from blowing the cans apart), the plastics don't care about that and are directly affected by temperature only. Therefore, what plastics are chosen to line cans should be stable to 120C and well above.
I've never seen linings like that. In the US our cans appear to be galvanized on the inside.
very good my friend👍
Most plastic food packaging is not designed for heating, but cans are heated as part of the canning process so they must be safe.
:) Thanks, Lars.
I still prefer my Soviet mess kit :)
Good to see you alive Lars
Life's good :)
as kids we used to just throw cans of food directly in the fire. one half burned other half still cold lol. iam still here but i wouldnt put it into the fire nowadays..
What is going in your food is not visible by eyes. This is the coponents of the plastic who is going inside.
Good video. I carry that knife everyday.
thanks
You're welcome!
There are plastic container,s designed to take hot foods.but most plastics once they reach 86 degrees and warmer they do begin to release toxic chemicals that should not be eaten or drank.long term ingestion causes cancers n other health issues
Cool experiment. But you hung your can over fire keeping it away from the flames 🔥. Am betting that most people will put can directly into the fire to cook food. If they do I think it may burn coating from inside of can. Next time you try would be worthwhile trying it that way.
