Only took me 65 years to ask, but, after over half a century of trying to unravel threads working sometimes, but not most of the time, NOW I KNOW! THANK YOU!!!
Keeps getting bewildered when people try to explain the different string stitches in regard to which one to pull. This video, ‘the front of the bag looks like this and the back looks like this, now open from the right’. So simple!! Thank you.
I saw someone do this years ago and it was a mystery - till now. I started keeping chickens and the feed bags are sewn closure. So glad I found this video
I've always relied on luck to pull the chain stitch off in one go. Sometimes luck favors me sometimes it's just pure agony. With this video, I can finally harness the power of sorcery on command!
Good teaching! Now I can do it! I had to come back twice; the first time, I could open it, but the second time? I had to watch you again. I now have no problem!! Thank you!!! 👏
I was shown how to do this on the farm when I was about 10 but had forgotten the secret ever since. Thank you, thank you, you have made this 61 year old Brit very happy.
I'm 38 and all my life I never got the hang of it til now-- the key detail is in the side with the single line stitching! Thank you so much for a video that is ultra clear, concise, straight to the point, and brief! My rice bag opening days have been changed forever!!! ❤ 💗 Thank you! 💞 Thank you! 💟 Thank you!!! 💞
You show how to get the string out of the loop. 3 others before watching you, glossed over that. Its the key to it all. Thanks. Now I'm smarter than the bag.
Yay! And...I just used your video to open a bag which had TWO string ends. I know!! I followed your instructions to open the loop and then I found, if I pulled each string, the stitching undid as you show, leaving me with two pieces of string. Fabulous. Thanks for making this video. 💚
41 years of my life and I still had to watch this video to figure this out. 1 of life's mysteries has just been solved!! #techmology #advancedcivilizations #unsolvedmysteries
I just got 11 huge bags of sheep manure delivered. I hacked open the first two bags with a utility knife but hated all the little bits of plastic! It's hard to put into words the joy and satisfaction your method brings!! I've tried it before but forgot the key element of making sure the end piece of string is removed from the last loop. Thank you a million times over!
I watched so many videos on how to do this and this is by far the most understandable. You did such a great job conveying the procedure, I can’t thank you enough.
Finally at the age of 66 I now know how to open one of these bags. I always thought there had to be some technique to it and another example of an old elegant and Brilliant way of doing things.
This is really great and to the point, I just watched another one all in Chinese and that did not explain or demonstrate anything useful to me yet it was full of compliments in English... I must have missed something! Well thank you for this one. I always do it but still did not know how I got there and it was very frustrating at times.
Thank you soooo much for that. 38 goddamed years and i could figure it out!!!! Yeah, i got lucky once in a while. Yeah maybe i couldve looked it up on youtube when it first came out
@@1533ramsay What the...? No. People still use rice, onions and potatoes, and rural people use all kinds of other stuff in sewn sacks (e.g. feed). They've also gained traction for industrial uses; I've seen them used to hold plastic parts used for interlock, and some plumbing stuff. Jesus has nothing to do with it. Sowwy.
Ha ha I learnt or rather thought I did at 74 but it kept being a puzzle. I did not take on board the single line R side instead of trying both side. And now at 77 i'm back at it with basmati rice bags ('should call them rat bags!)! Yes NEVER on the 'looped' side, but SINGLE line side! Although sometimes it still is a struggle with fine threads. But I saw another video with a chook pellets bag. And all he does is cut the right spot as described against the R end of the bag, then just pulls the end of each thread on both sides of the bag at the same time! Hmmm... Thank you for your very clear video anyway :) Wow now I found my 5 years old post below mine now and I had forgotten about. It seems I unlearn faster than I learn:(
I worked in confectionery and never knew how to do this 😃 some ladies just knew, they said "it's simple you just pull the string"... and it still remained such a mystery. Other ladies would just slice it open with a knife 😆
When I began living with my asian inlaws and saw how they opened rice bags I was like "YOU'RE A WITCH!". Still couldn't figure it out on my own. Thanks for this video.
No, there's more to it,. I've tried this over and over with Tidy Cat cat litter, and 1 time out of 10 I catch it. Yes, I'm gentle on the pull. Yes, I've gotten "one string ahead of the other" and used my fingernails to get the "straight or smooth" side to be at the same point that the looped side ends. Yes, I've cut off 3 whole loops at the end, which according to this should certainly put me past the tied point. I think there's something else not mentioned.
I'm mid-60's and I worked in Wholefood shops and a bakery for years, and never got the hang. Today I have my own 25Kg bag of Basmati rice to open and it took fine electronic tools & 20m.
I'm 79 and finally gave up trying - found this video and now I know... many thank you's
Your soul may now rest in peace...
this was posted just a year ago, he’s probably still around
Hi grandppaa
At 66 I finally know how to open one of these!
I’m 60 now. I should have searched the you tube 10 years ago.
You don't know, I'm crying already for The Tears of Joy.
*Thank You*
I'm glad this video exist. All my life, I was only able to do it once by chance. Now I know!
Thank you solving one of the great puzzles of life.
I saw my father do this 45 years ago and couldn't figure it out until now. Thanks a mill. Great video
Did he go to bring milk 💀💀?
Only took me 65 years to ask, but, after over half a century of trying to unravel threads working sometimes, but not most of the time, NOW I KNOW! THANK YOU!!!

I am 54 and FINALLY someone showed me! Thanks.

Of all the videos I’ve seen, this was perfectly explained only because you mention which side of the bag must the string be pulled from 🙏🏽
I've always relied on luck to pull the chain stitch off in one go. Sometimes luck favors me sometimes it's just pure agony. With this video, I can finally harness the power of sorcery on command!
lol, agony is the right word!!!
Good teaching! Now I can do it! I had to come back twice; the first time, I could open it, but the second time? I had to watch you again. I now have no problem!! Thank you!!! 👏

Kinda same here. I learned it at about 14 on a farm. But I forgot exactly, and it has been hit or miss for the decades since lol
After 40 years of trying, finally a brilliant explanation, thankyou
Thank you! Your video is to the point and worked for me perfectly.
Awesome thank you. 🎉 we knew there was a way but couldn't work it. So easy. Yay!
I sew, and I crochet, and I know what a chain stitch is, but I still make knots in potato bags and pancake mix bags!! Thanks very much!!
I used to upon it with knief since i forgotten it
Once i was told by a cement bag opner how to open but i did forget
Thanks, for letting me revise
I'm 38 and all my life I never got the hang of it til now-- the key detail is in the side with the single line stitching! Thank you so much for a video that is ultra clear, concise, straight to the point, and brief! My rice bag opening days have been changed forever!!! ❤
💗 Thank you! 💞 Thank you! 💟 Thank you!!! 💞
Very clear and helpful video.Thanks!
Finally! A lots of rice bags have these seals too and I as an Asian man still don't know how to open it properly.
Wow thanks this was really helpful
You rock. I just opened a rice bag properly for the first time!
You show how to get the string out of the loop. 3 others before watching you, glossed over that. Its the key to it all. Thanks. Now I'm smarter than the bag.
Thanks a lot I always cut my swen flour bag with knife but after watching this I try and finally succeeded 😂👍👍

Wow 45 years after I finally learned how to do it , thanks!!

OMG I think you should use the guy's method suggesting CHAINSAW!
I have always wondered how to open a sewn bag, thank you for showing me the correct way to do this
This video changed my life
Took me 20 minutes or so to open my rice bag. Not sure where to start, the left or the right end. Thanks for the tip. Now, I know which side to start.
same here, I struggle and sweat , end up cut every stitches
Awesome! Had struggled with some stitched burlap bags that I had been trying to open using different methods-so simple! Thank you for posting this!
Why YES, my dear, I found the video to be VERY instructive. And thank you for making it available.
THANK YOU!!! I've been struggling with bags of onions at work for YEARS!
Well explained. Worked perfectly as described. Many thanks. I'll probably have to come back again though next time I get a sewn bag!
Best video on the web regarding how to do this. THANKS!
67 years old and i tried a thousand times to figure this out ! Thank you and you tube
A big big thank you!
I've seen people do it, but i just can't get how they do it. But now, thru your tutorial, i just opened a sack of feed💪...
I watched so many videos on how to do this and this is by far the most understandable. You did such a great job conveying the procedure, I can’t thank you enough.
Thanks, it was always hit or miss till your excellent instructions, Thanks again.
Finally at the age of 66 I now know how to open one of these bags. I always thought there had to be some technique to it and another example of an old elegant and Brilliant way of doing things.
Thank you. After 60 years of trying I can now undo a sewn bag!
Thanks so much… I’m 63 and have struggled with this all my life, now I see how simple 😊
Thank you thank you thank you. I always knew there was a way.
After all these years, Yes Very helpful!!
Thank you so much for the short and useful video.
Took me 75 years to ask :(
But thanks!
+m bennett 77 years here. All I have to do is remember!! lol
65 years. I've got one on the counter and I think I can remember this if I do it within the next 15 minutes.
79 years for me - better late than never, right?
Many thanks from Nova Scotia where we have Speerville Mills who like to sew their bags up as you do.
you got bags in Nova Scotia... I thought you keep everything under the snow in igloos...
@@meeekstubbular Are you putting on the stereotypical dumb Yank persona? Or are you like this all the time?
Thank you!!! I knew there was a way. Blessings to you for visiting the 'how to guide'.
I'm never going to forget now. Thank you!
This has changed my life.
OMG, how simple! Thanks a billion!!
thank you so much. you solved a mystery of my life.
Great video. Thanks for helping us all out:)
THANKS, it worked for me
I am 21 a boy 😀
A year later and 12 more bags of manure...had to look it up again! Still works like a charm thank you :)
Sooo, you helped me a lot, i have to open flour bags all the time and this made it crystal clear.
What a great little tutorial!
I opened one that way totally by accident one day and i've never been able to repeat it again since! :D I've always wondered.
This is really great and to the point, I just watched another one all in Chinese and that did not explain or demonstrate anything useful to me yet it was full of compliments in English... I must have missed something!
Well thank you for this one. I always do it but still did not know how I got there and it was very frustrating at times.
Oh my god i can't thank you enough haha this helped me a lot today and it's so satisfying pulling the thread
Wonderful! This has been driving me to distraction for oh SO long.
yup it worked great, thanks for displaying this tip!
Did it by pure luck, ages ago and have been annoyed since 😂. Thanks for the help.
Excellent. Educative. Solution for a puzzling task. Thanks for uploading.
Finally!!! Thank you very very much
Thank you so much for making my life easier!!!!!!!!
Thank you soooo much for that. 38 goddamed years and i could figure it out!!!! Yeah, i got lucky once in a while. Yeah maybe i couldve looked it up on youtube when it first came out

MrZaphaell
Everyone that did this everyday is dead. It's very old time method. But now I know how. Praise Jesus!

Just a big thank you
Best video on TH-cam!
Thank you, now I can open my rice bag.
After 10 or more years it was about time I learned how to do it the right way
This actually worked. Thank you
Lifechanging. Thank you so much. Seriously
I can now die in peace knowing this trick!
Before: sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't work on my ricebag. Now I know what to look out for. Thanks :D
It worked! No more Scissors for me!
Amazing - thankyou. Phil
Yep, 72 and the sense of achievement ! Thank you very much 😅
Best viedo to explain it! Thank you!
Ha ha I learnt or rather thought I did at 74 but it kept being a puzzle. I did not take on board the single line R side instead of trying both side.

Thank you my dear ! I can't tell you how many times I'v hacked a bag to get it open after failing at the string thing.
greaaatt.. im from Indonesia.. in my country, ricefield is like forest,, so wide.. people here also use this technic .. thanks..
Thank you! Cat litter bag opened without butchering the bag!
I worked in confectionery and never knew how to do this 😃 some ladies just knew, they said "it's simple you just pull the string"... and it still remained such a mystery. Other ladies would just slice it open with a knife 😆
Same here baby
I am just fell in love with you
You are beautifull and soothing speaker
This is actual magic
Thank you we are trying to open a bag like this
Prefect thank you
3 Cheers for TH-cam contributors :D Thanks a lot for this, will save me a great deal of frustration.
When I began living with my asian inlaws and saw how they opened rice bags I was like "YOU'RE A WITCH!". Still couldn't figure it out on my own. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this video!!

One possible aspect may be to only do the RIGHT side?? www.instructables.com/id/Opening-a-string-sealed-bag-without-scissors/

Today I have my own 25Kg bag of Basmati rice to open and it took fine electronic tools & 20m.
