Actually I do have cans but they are for when things get desperate
Plenty of good beers in cans these days. Added bonuses of lighter weight, won't cover your campsite in broken glass should accidents happen, pack down very small for taking your litter home.

I'd coil up any excess and maybe add some tape around it until I could access some decent cutters and a crimp.

I changed jobs, and my old team had a bit of a whip-around resulting in some vouchers for Blacks. I got a load of OS maps, started to pore over them, and we all got told to stay home. Dang it.
