2nd to last day of Jan 2023...and I just looked this topic up and watched this to solve my own frustration. I just ran upstairs and immediately opened a new 25 kg of cracked corn with NO PROBLEM using this tip. It was SO satisfying 🙂🙃🙂😄 Thanks so much. I won't forget now!
Opening these bags has frustrated me for years and this morning I decided to finally find out how to open them quickly and easily. Thanks for the lesson. So easy to remember - 'single stitch in Arabic'.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I struggle every time and end up cutting the thread and having to pick up massive amounts of tiny threads! This is a real life hack!!
I've been opening feed bags for nigh on 40 year, and up until I watched this tutorial...I struggled to open them - the cursing!. Horse feed, dog feed, chicken feed, goat feed, sheep feed, etc. I've asked how - I'm not shy, but no method ever took. I think someone aught to do an investigation into why feed mills use this nightmarish method of closing feed bags. Thank you Scot Gardner for sharing this simple wisdom - you have made a huge improvement in the mental health of many in agriculture!
As a kid working on my uncle's farm I could never open these damned bags, 50 years later trying to open a bag of spuds you showed me how, cheers mate !
Thanks so much for tase excellent instructions - just went out and opened the bird food sac and it works a treat!!! Grappled with this for years and years and always used to end up cutting them. I hope now to find somewhere to recycle / reuse the bags instead of them ending up in landfill. Thanks again.
These bags can be used to grow trees. Use the bags to generate compost. Fill it up with all organic matter like leaves, veggie peels, egg shells, tea bags, anything left over inb the kitchen. Once full, keep the bag aside for a few months till entire content has been broken down by microbes. Plant a sapling in it and watch how well the trees springs up. You can dig up the sac for the tree to grow its roots deep. Very soon you will be a proud father of a rainforest.
Wow thanks, I had to open a20lb bird seed bag, I only like to open quarter of the way, fill a small container so I can put a clip on the rest. Last few times I have really messed up opening the bag. Just now I did it with a breeze. Now I can do same with my wheat flour bag. Thanks again!
Cannot thank you enough! Only been at this for a few bags over the last few months, and lucked out once, but otherwise TOTAL frustration. So happy to finally have the solution to the puzzle! Gracias again!! 👍😊👌🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've literally had to watch a video every time I wanted to open one of these bags and I still couldn't remember how to do it.. and your one minute trick has set me right for life! Thanks so much for this beauty of a life hack!
Bingo! My grandfather tough me this many years ago and I had forgotten it. Then I bought some dogfood in a bag like that and found myself scratching my head. Great Vid, thanks.
Thank you so much, this has left me feeling like an absolute jackass I can't believe it's taking me till I was 40 to bother to log on to TH-cam, thanks man
Just as a heads up guys, after cutting the string on the right side make sure to pull the string on both sides evenly so they unravel at the same time and at the same pace, otherwise it will get stuck until you even it out again
I KNEW there was a hitch. Sigh. NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE, can explain this clearly so that it works every time. Back to swearing and cutting with a knife. :(
WAHOO, thanks so much I have had so much frustration opening my chook foods and my 5kg rice bags. YAY for TH-cam contributors, and a Fellow Aussie at that :D
It didn't work on three different bags of chicken feed, I ended up taking my machete to them and tearing them apart. It worked and relieved the frustration 👍
Thanks works a treat, I’m 68 and wish I knew this trick 3000 bags ago 😅😅😅
You beauty! 2 seconds and I'm done after years of struggling.
Same here
7 years on..still has value ! Thanks Scot!!
I can't believe this is so simple. I have hated these bags for 30 years. God bless you! and god bless the internet!
You contributed to mankind for making this video! Thank you for the demonstration. Very simple. 👍🏻
44 years , first succesfull opening after your tutorial! never going back 🙃
Man 45 years of pain crushed in 1 minute video - thanks Oz man you rock!!!
thankyou!!!! I have opened bags for years and can never get it right, now I will!
Thank you so much! After after 40 years looking like a primate opening those bags with my teeth, know I know!!
I have HATED open feed bags for years!! Now it is a piece of cake!! THANK YOU!!
You beauty! Glad this is up after 7 years - and thanks for the reading in reverse memory hook. Worked like a charm on a 65L Searles potting mix bag.
This is the most important video I’ve ever watched! Why isn’t this taught in schools?
I have finally mastered the sewn bag!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I started as an apprentice brewer and these damn bags gave me trouble up until now. Thank you kindly
I have snipped every. single. friggin. loop. on so many rice bags. This video has probably given me back 24 hours of the rest of my life. Thank you!

Greetings...spent yesterday 10 min doing this. Other times no worries, now all is good. A big thank you for this VERY handy advice. Cheers.

It worked! It worked! So exciting! Thank you! This has eluded me for far too many years. I need go buy more bags like this!

I have NOT been able to figure this out to save my life!!! Thank you!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Omg! Finally! Years! Yours was the easiest to comprehend and it worked! Thank you thank you!
Thanks, i went over 3 videos before yours and your video was the one that saved me.
This works great, I just tested on 20 bags at the feed store. The store owner was very impressed, lot of whooping and hollering.
😅😂 I laughed so hard because I was wondering how I can open a lot of bags for practice. So pleasurable that I could turn serial opener. Lol

Beam me up. Scotty! Finally somebody who really knows what he is talking about!!!!!
I don't believe it, this actually works. After years of frustration. Thanks so much. 👍
I needed you twenty years ago myself!
Cannot thank you enough! Only been at this for a few bags over the last few months, and lucked out once, but otherwise TOTAL frustration. So happy to finally have the solution to the puzzle! Gracias again!! 👍😊👌🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome! I’ve been fighting those sewn bags for years! No more!
My Mum could always do this first go! I never could. Thank you!
Thank you for this video.
I just opened a sack/bag of jasmine rice following your useful tips. 😊
This is how pro teach. Perfect and no way to forget now.
Onya Champ, this always used to be one of those 'Am I gonna jag it this time?' events, not any more.
You make it look so easy, I’ve tried so many times but not every time it will be that easy.
Thanks
My fathers uncle used to open them the right way and I could never figure out how... Now I know, thanks!
Thanks those bags always gave me problems . My mom feeds her neighborhood peacocks and getting that 40lb bag of seed open made our day !
Neighbor peacocks, so lucky and lovely! Tell them I said hello
You have officially changed my life! Thank you! Cheers Mate!
Been messing up countless sacks of rice since the 80’s. Not anymore, thanks to you.
Thank-you SO much. Im 60 this month and just learnt how to open my birds feed.👌🙃
It worked!! Even on sunflower seed bags. Thank you so much!!
30 SECOnds, thats all it took. went and did it first time. thank you this one is short and to the point. sweetr
I've literally had to watch a video every time I wanted to open one of these bags and I still couldn't remember how to do it.. and your one minute trick has set me right for life! Thanks so much for this beauty of a life hack!
Bingo! My grandfather tough me this many years ago and I had forgotten it. Then I bought some dogfood in a bag like that and found myself scratching my head. Great Vid, thanks.
My dad taught me as a kid too, but because I only open these rarely, I lose the information in between.
Just what I needed, thank you! Short and to the point!
Thank you, you are a champion! My grandfather showed me in the 70's, but I could never work it out.
20 years! 🤣 You're doing better than me! After probably 30 years I decided to find a video to teach me.
Thanks much! I never expect it to be so simple. 😊😉👍
Wow thank you! Such good tips and it worked for me. Had been frustrating me for so long 😂
Brilliant video mate.
Cheers from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Thank you. Simple explanation. Just tried worked perfectly. I struggled for years ..🙏
Walla ~ ~It's sooooo simple!
This makes life easier!
Thank you very much!!😇
My God man, thank you from the very depths of my soul.
Thank you so much, this has left me feeling like an absolute jackass I can't believe it's taking me till I was 40 to bother to log on to TH-cam, thanks man
Beautiful video! Has helped me on several occasions!!!
Can't believe how easy it is. How have I never gotten it right. Thanks.
thanks Scot!, Sometimes I've fluked it but now I know and will get it every time!
The most important thing you have described in the video is facing the single stich and start to open from right to left.
Thank you! It’s such a pain in the neck to wrestle with these bags while my hungry lambs are bothering me to just feed it to them.
The video I've been longing to see my whole life. Thanks!
You win. Other 2 videos i watched i did not understand. The best thing was knowing which side should face me.
Just as a heads up guys, after cutting the string on the right side make sure to pull the string on both sides evenly so they unravel at the same time and at the same pace, otherwise it will get stuck until you even it out again
Thank you.
I KNEW there was a hitch. Sigh. NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE, can explain this clearly so that it works every time. Back to swearing and cutting with a knife. :(
The real protip is always in the comments
What wad of string do you pull ?? Its all looped on the unseen side !!!! Makes no sense whatsoever
Works like a champ. Thx!
Finally!!! I was about to step into on coming traffic because of this simple problem. Cheers.
I miss your videos, Scot! Keep 'em coming!
Are you bloody joking me?! This vid has been on the tube since 16 and I am barely figuring this out in 2020???
Haha! Great video, mate!
Thanks! Saved me 10 mins of frustration
this is the best explanation i have well done sir
Eight years later....... thank you. Everything's simple if you know how.
Finally! Thanks a lot. One less frustration in life.
Yes! It was so easy to open the bag for me. Thank you so much for the instruction!!
excellent, still relevant in 2024, 54 years old, thanks!!
Same! Only been trying to memorise this for 20 years or so.
You sir, are a god amongst men.
This is the most important video ever
OMG Ive been trying to figure that out for 60 years thank you brother, LMAO !!!!!
This will save me a lot of heartache, thank you
You, sir, are a boss!
Outstanding!
Great simple video bud, cheers!
WAHOO, thanks so much I have had so much frustration opening my chook foods and my 5kg rice bags. YAY for TH-cam contributors, and a Fellow Aussie at that :D
nice video. well done. Only change I would have made is instead of "voila" at the finish... replace with "and Bob's your uncle" . :D
Thanks, this is the 3d video I've watched on the topic and you finally explained it so I got it! The previous two I was trying L to R.
Thank you so much for your simple video.
It worked! Thank you for the trick to remembering it too!
Thank you. Simple and easy indeed.
Thanks For it was a thought to Google how. and glad you made this video. But I do question why it's not printed on the bag.
Thanks, it's always been hit or miss for me up to now
شكراً جداً Shokran Gidan.Thanks a lot
I've spent years cutting and pulling at those strings and ending up cutting the top off the bag
Excellent advice, thank you!
Mate. You’re the best!
👍👍🤗🤗🇦🇺 SNAP to all the other comments ... I've flunked it a few times, but could never remember how I did. ABSOLUTELY GOLD 🌺🌻 thanks!!
You Sir, are a legend!
That's saved me hours of picking thanks👍 and if there is coloured sting on the back pull the coloured one 🤘
It didn't work on three different bags of chicken feed, I ended up taking my machete to them and tearing them apart. It worked and relieved the frustration 👍
Thanks for the and an easy-to-follow.
Thank you from the Old World!
Thank you God bless the Internet 👍👍
Life changer! Thank you so very much!! 🎉
