How to make a C-Ration Coffee Cup

Obtain the empty B (large, dry) can from the C-ration meal.
Open the top and leave about a quarter inch of the lid attached.
Bend it outward.
Bend the ends down (like wings) to form a handle.


Deluxe (reusable) Version

Remove the top of the can completely.
Obtain 2 lengths of the bailing wire off of the C-Ration case.
Obtain a solid, sturdy stick about 4 inches long.
Notch out a groove around the stick near both ends.
Wrap each length of wire around both top & bottom ends of the can and twist the wire around itself leaving enough twisted wire to twist around the grooves in both ends of the stick 1 inch from the can creating a very nice handle.
Trim off excess wire.
