If you can find a soda can in a survival situation, you can make any number of projects that will make your life easier.

At the very least, making each project in this video will help you build the skills needed to improvise in an actual survival situation.

One Summer, I was fishing in northern Maine back country, miles from civilization and at least three miles from the nearest road and lodged in a beaver dam at the end of the small pond, was a sun bleached aluminum soda can.

For better or worse, you can find aluminum cans virtually anywhere people can get to; if you find one, you have a ready-to-go survival tool waiting for you do decide how to use it.
