Many people have asked about silver bullets and werewolves. I discuss that in our 2021 Halloween special.
Thank you Paul : )
Yes, another fun and fantastic Halloween Special!
You know I really thought about it in the long run. You could probably get away with silver plated munitions to make vampire hunting more economical.
I really prefer this one talking about Vampire Defense :)
Since Paul failed to explain his hip injury and given the fact that he's releasing an instructional video on combatting vampires, I think it's fair to assume he broke his hip while eliminating a den of vampires. None of them got to him, he just slipped on all the blood.
L O L !!!
He slipped in the shower like most old people.
@@jasonrhodes9726 Yeah, the vampires wouldn't even let him alone in the shower.
I think this is a fair assumption and I’m going to accept it as a valid explanation and not ask questions
Vampires is another term for those Phlebotomists. He's been seeing plenty of them I'd bet.
Paul may be the only man alive who actually seems more badass with a broken hip and a walking stick.
when i first saw him he was already bad beyond my imagination
"today we're going to demonstrate how to use a walking stick as a makeshift club for defensive purposes, so here's a bunch of watermelons, let's give it a try." And about a year later the field is overgrown with watermelon vines.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Paul! ❤
As John Wayne said to Bruce Dern: "Had my back broke once, my hip twice. And on my worst day I could beat the hell outta you."
@@brianemig729 The Cowboys might be my favorite Duke movie. Great quote!
It all makes sense now. About a week ago on a vampire sightings group I lurk on I read an account of a vampire that visited the dentist. When the dentist tried to use his mirror to see the back side of his teeth there was no reflection. At this point the vampire freaked out and attacked the dentist. Hearing the noise another member of the staff burst into the room, realizing the assailant was a vampire he took the jar of tongue depressors, broke one into a point and fought the vampire until the vampire leaped out the window with 13 tongue depressors sticking out of his chest. The employee was injured in the scuffle... he is recovering from his broken hip but wishes to remain anonymous.
Hey I'm not saying the hero in the story above was Paul but I am saying true heroes don't toot their own horn either and Paul did say "don't ask". But that does give me some insight on the topic of today's video as well.
I'm glad you didn't get bit Paul and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Bravo, Squirlly. That is the best explanation that could have been true. Fantastic. The legend of Paul grows. Even Chuck Norris couldn't have a story that fitting.
@@samwalker3441the conversations I've had about who's tougher, Chuck or Paul. Good memories
@@brecht9863every night chuck hopes and prays that paul isnt in his closet. Paul answers his prayers with; "you be the judge."
This is the best explanation. 😉
Well done, sir. A worthy tribute to Paul.
Man shot a joke video to brighten people's mood with a broken hip. Paul Harrell achieved mythical status in my eyes. Thank you, and Happy Halloween from across the ocean.
New Mythical Fighter unlocked!
Must have broken his hip battling some Ghouls or Werewolves before the filming of this video,they are out & about alot this time of year.
Even more heroic when you consider it probably took two or three takes to get it just right.
@@scantrontheimmortal Nah, he went looking for Hattie in the Black Bayou.
I’m sure the pain management medication impacted the accuracy of his bow. Broken hips are no joke. But the show must go on. Bless you sir.
We all know he broke his hip defeating a vampire lord, but was too humble to say so. Saint Paul decided to humor us mere mortals with a hypothetical situation so we would not feel bad 😇
I loved the Vampire Meat Target (VMT). The added Heart is an absolute bonus. You did quite well with the arrows considering the obvious wind problems. We learn why primitives developed poisoned arrows. What was with the Yellow Jacket wasps. Were they attracted to the bright colours on the VMT? Get well soon, we know there are now layers of health problems but your still somehow in remarkably good spirits. Were always rooting for you Down Under.
In the autumn, yellow jackets are notorious for scavenging fruit and other sweet things. The nests are ready to die for the winter but the queens must be fed before they hibernate, methinks.
Yellow jackets are carnivores and drawn to meat. In fact raw meat is a very typical bait for them.
Layers of health issues? Besides the hip, he alright?
They're yellow jackets, they're demonically possessed flying knives. They attack everything they see.
October is really when yellow jackets go crazy, gathering everything to feed the breeders before frost.
Paul, your courage, humor and humanity are a guide star to us all.
OK, as a Romanian, I feel I am uniquely qualified to offer advice on this matter. We here in Romania have largely eradicated the vampire threat by religiously consuming large quantities of shawarma with everything and extra garlic sauce. In fact, the Romanian garlic sauce called mujdei's discovery is credited with Dracula's ill fated decision to relocate to London, England (a country where food with any sort of taste was forbidden at the time). Joking aside, thank you for the laughs sir, and we wish you a speedy recovery
Brilliant
You know damn well Shawarma isn't a native cuisine in Romania. That comes from all the brown people living in your country. It's a luxury encountered latenight after a pub crawl. I just spend 2 weeks in Ploiesti/Bucharest and ate nothing but Ceafa de porc and Sarmale.
Awesome comment lol
Makes sense. Brits have no taste
@@9unslin9er And apple pie isn't native to the USA but as an Englishman I'll not lord it over you mate.
But we have won a prize. Another Paul Harrell video.
YESS !!
I'll tell you it's hard to believe he broke a hip I'm 73 years old and I didn't have a broken head but I got a brand new titanium hip in there and I loved it but I was walking pretty bad there for the longest time but I'm okay now but yeah I'm so glad that he's okay and he's up and up and running and this thing about vampires I I cast bullets part-time and some people came to me few years ago and one of those make some silver bullets to kill a werewolf or a vampire and I said I never have done that before but I'll try it so it took two of us to try it with our moles and we finally got the heat just right and the temperature of the moles just right and so we cast some real silver bullets and we loaded them up for a 9 mm and I gave them to him in a presentation box and they were just as happy as everybody take Care happy Halloween and Paul please be careful
One has to like his new lead-in.
"No, you haven't won a prize. That's a scam."
🙂
Paul's sense of humor never misses.
"These yellow-jackets are annoying" . . . while shooting arrows at a vampire target , while having a broken hip. - Thug Life.
Im starting to worry about Mr. Harrell. First cancer now a broken hip. Take care dude, you are a national treasurure to most gun guys online.
We all got our ticket punched. He has left years worth of knowledge. His legacy and teachings will live forever
I think he's had enough of doctors taking blood.
Not just gun guys ;)
+1 'national treasure ' 👍
Nobody gets to live forever. Paul, at least, when he goes, leaves behind his some of his knowledge for everybody to find on UA-cam. Part of him gets to live forever on earth in the minds of the people he influenced.
The man shoots a recurve bow while recovering from a broken hip. Respect.
A broken hip is no joke at all.
I had heard he jogged home from the doctor's office.
And also a .338. Those things kick.
The Chuck Norris of guntube
A 35 lb bow, though. I do wonder what the reenactors with their 120 lb bows could have done.
I also have thoughts about some heavily modified shotgun rounds, but those can't legally be tested.
This is the content I live for, and Paul doing it with a broken hip.
Bless you Paul.
Your deadpan delivery is flawless, & you could also be a successful storyteller. Healing mojo sent!
Paul Helsing can't be stopped by trivial injuries like a broken hip. Creatures of the night should continue to take heed.
Yes, I got the reference. Zing!😊
Not seen many other guntubers to stand in heavy rain front of camera and be like
it is fine summerday. That takes some dedication.
That alone make me rise his status as guntuber much higher than many
others with even with 10x budget.
There ya go! Yes, that would be a fair comparison!
The deadpan humour on that guy is flawless. Broken hip and other concerns and here he is. God bless
He's the perfect straight man.
This man is an American Treasure. Looking forward to his Thanksgiving special.
This is one of those extremely rare times I wish YT had more than a "thumbs up" selection.
As many years as I've watched Paul, this one ranks right up there with his best in my opinion.
I enjoyed the hell out of this, simply put.
Prayers continue for your recovery on now *both* your maladies, sir - and thanks as always.
- Ed on the Ridge
Despite the condition Paul Harrell's condition is in, he still provides quality content. I hope you get well soon, Sir.
Despite the condition of his condition, he's a well conditioned soldier.
How do you quantify how awesome Paul Harrell is? The man fractures his hip a week ago and today he's holding a master class on killing vampires...all with a straight face. I love Paul Harrell!!!!
Paul never fails to deliver important information in a timely manner.
As always, many thanks.
There’s a reason that in many jurisdictions, they minimum bow weight for hunting is 45 pounds.
Vampires just won’t be out down by such wheeny bows.
Makes sense though. 30 pounds is like the bare minimum for technical effectiveness against an unarmored person. I mean you arguably COULD kill someone with a 20 pound bow but they’d have to essentially be willing, and 45 pounds is the the “ideal minimum” which balances minimum draw weight with as much power as possible.
Paul's new mysterious injury and cane is definitely an interesting development in his character arc!
Probably made of Silver for whacking Werewolves!😂
The fact that Scott from Kentucky Ballistics AND Paul Harrel both put out a video about vampire defense is very telling of our time. Remember, kids. You can call the Frog Brothers and it may take some time before they get to you, but you are your first line of defense. Get those stakes ready, fill those bath tubs with holy water and garlic, and don't invite strangers into your home.
It's not a comic, think of it more as a survival guide.
Scott did werewolves and silver bullets today. Great video. The ending was a blast.
Don't forget hot cross buns.
One Thing About Living In Santa Carla I Never Could Stomach...All The Damn Vampires.
Killed me when you flipped the bird through the vampire's ribs!
I love these holiday specials so much, my social circle doesn't really do much for many of those days (and my family has recently been collapsing a little), and it's so nice to have a community to sit in while enjoying some of the holiday fun
Thanks for this. I've been overly focused on the zombie apocalypse and haven't paid enough attention to the vampire threat.
Paul Harrell is the definition of triumph of mind over body
Paul Harrell. What a legend! Breaking his hip while live combating vampires doing research for us on how to kill them... A hero we dom't deserve but definitely crave!
I was just starting to feel confident about my preparations for the Zombie apocalypse and now this. Thanks Paul, something else for me to worry about.
As the saying goes life's a b-tch then you die.
Hey Paul, glad to see that despite everything you're still going strong. I can't speak for anyone but myself but if you're ever trying to come up with ideas during your recovery, I know I'd sure love to hear some of those boring tedious anecdotes you always threaten us with. Get well soon!
Story time with Paul. Love it.
Since Paul refuses to tell us how he injured his hip and this IS the Internet, you know what we have to do, boys. It's time for Wild Speculation.
My theory is that Mr. Harrell came across a young man who was being attacked by a cougar. Paul, being a brave and kind soul, stepped in to defend this young man. Due to his wisdom, Paul knew that this cougar was best dealt with not by way of a firearm, but with a sugary, alcoholic drink. The young man was able to escape the cougar's claws, but that left Paul in the cougar's grasp instead. He defended himself quite vigorously and was ultimately able to sate the cougar and escape, but not without injury.
That seems legit to me.
Paul Harrell educational and entertaining! Love the gesture to the vampire through the heart ❤️
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your craft
Just wanted to point out a wooden stake through the heart may kill a vampire, but it also kills any other animal (including the two legged variety) as well.
This wasn't the Halloween special we wanted, this was the Halloween special we NEEDED! Thanks Paul! This made my week!!! Get better soon!
Hope you make a speedy recovery Paul. Praying for you
One of the rare people who can rival you in curmudgeon-ness, my good friend, passed away this week after collapsing because of a rare heart condition even he didn't know about. It's been a rough week. We've never met, but your channel and especially your specials have meant a lot to me over the years. I don't have a serious youtube name, but I seriously appreciate your work. Take care of that hip.
Well said, slutmonke
I too am VERY Serious in my love of Mr Harrell!
Sorry for your loss.
Now this is the kind of life-saving information that I come to Paul's channels for! And right in time for my upcoming trip to Romania too!.
Thank you, Mr Harrell! 😊
Just need a purple coat, feathered hat, gold jewelry and a lavishly decorated 70s muscle car with that cane and you'll become Pimp Daddy Paul. Jokes aside, i wish you a fast and complete recovery
@@AdamA-pm3ynyep just need to put a leopard print cover over the seats and some faux fur on the dashboard😅
Paul, wishing you a speedy and full recovery my friend. Thank you for the continued top notch content... yours is one of the top channels on UA-cam!
Dude, legendary 🤣 I've never broken my hip but I did snap my femur in half so the fact that you made this video a week out from injury definitely gains you my admiration. You sir are a legend of a man, Happy Halloween Paul.
Props to you on being able to stay on your feet after a broken hip. My dad couldn't walk for a month.
I appreciate the advice on how to properly defend myself from vampires. Happy Halloween Paul!
Thanks Paul. Had a real bad day, but forgot all about it while watching this. We appreciate what you do.
Sweet video Paul. Happy Halloween 🎃! Just FYI, I’m week four after a right hip replacement surgery and I feel awesome- no pain and I’m beginning to hike again. I had it done by ROC Orthopedic in Oregon City. Have a great week! 😊
Is Paul Harrell the OG Warrior Poet?!?
What a badass!
Been here for many years. Since it was a 'small' channel. Seen some wonderful things and could not imagine how it could get any better.
Then, ladies and gents, Paul started singing.
God bless and God speed Mr Harrell. Thank you for finding new ways to cheer us up, no matter what is happening. You are a strong and determined lesson in living a quality life. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤🙏
Mr. Paul serenading us with spooky folk stories! This is my favorite Holiday video
I saved myself from a real life vampire using the methods in this video, thank you Paul
Mr. Harrell, another great video as always! I'm sorry to hear that you've broken your hip. Please take it as easy as you can. Rest up, and no videos until you feel etter!
Thank you Paul for this timely video.
I have a neighbor that I'm almost certain is a vampire! My original plan was to create an elaborate trap and then stake him out in the sunlight, but now I think I'll create some hunting tips from petrified wood. That should work!
I know he's a vampire because I never see him except when he leaves in the evening, (and he's always back home before sunrise). The only other time I've encountered him is when I go to the local carry out, where he's the night manager...
Oooh, never mind.
Get well soon Paul, and happy Halloween!
Paul, you are by miles my favorite. The fact that you still released a episode with a broken hip illustrates your commitment to your true fans. Thank you Paul I really do look forward to your content.🤝
Happy Halloween, Paul! It's a shame you had to break your hip to teach it who's boss. Praying for you in all ways, Brother!
Totally fun fact, the Swedish Mausers were made to be trained with wooden bullets and a muzzle device. If you don't screw on the muzzle device, then you have a firearm that shoots wooden bullets though fairly inaccurately. Last I saw, the surplus training ammo is readily available though they do have corrosive primers. I suppose any 6.5 Swedish chambered rifle could fire the cartridges as well.
Hope your hip heals up fast. Godspeed and God bless, Paul.
Paul, that was glorious. Thank you for putting this out there through your injury, and that cover at the end was perfect.
I was hoping for a wood stake from a 12 gague.
You are a piece of work Mr. Harrel, a true warrior in every good sense of the word.
According to the story the vampire was not harmed by sunlight but lost his powers, so was just like the rest of us and easy to kill too. The stake has to go through the heart to kill him though. You are right about the metal on the stake or arrow will negate its effect and there are specific woods to use on top of it. Love the story at the end of vid:)
Paul this was brilliant and your delivery was fantastic! It came across with your usual professionalism and seriousness despite the Halloween themed topic. It seemed genuinely instructional! Thank you. I needed this. May God bless you with a full recovery from the hip and the thing we are not mentioning.
I hope to one day be half as cool as Mr. Paul Harrell. Get well soon, sir.
The ballad section was unexpected in the extreme. For the correct traditional vampire lore, read Bram Stoker then watch Coppola’s movie of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Make use to have a large Bowie or Khukri knife with you at all times. The head of a vampire must be cut off!
Speedy healing Mr. Harrell. May your intentions be just and your aim remain true.
Another awesome Holiday special to share with the family!!! You Rock that cane well Paul! May All the healing mojo from Hattie's brew go into your hip.
Holiday specials are always a treat from you and the crew
Vital consumer advice, especially at this time of year 🎃
Great content. By the way, I'm watching from Romania, still home of the vampires, so I know that your info is spot on.
Paul your ability to not be stoped is much appreciated.
Happy Hallows Eve, Paul. Hope you're allowing yourself time to heal. Much love from me and mine, to you and yours.
This episode was supposed to be how to kill a warewolf but he accidentally did it off camera and broke his hip. He had to come up with a last minute new plan but no vampires would show up after they heard about the demise of the original guest.
You are a better man than me Paul. Both times I recovered from orthopedic surgery I sat in the recliner milkshake in hand and enjoyed the vicodin. I started to participate in life after about day 8-9. I wear a crucifix for this very reason. I can quickly poke it out between my shirt buttons whenever I need to ward off a vampire. I am happy to report I have escaped being bitten so far.
Kudos to you Paul! Best Halloween show ever!
The old story from Jim is phenomenal! Well told.
Hey Paul.Great video as always. Have you ever heard of a "Hong Kong batton" round? It's basically just a wooden slug used in riot control and to my knowledge has never been properly evaluated in vampire defense. A tragic oversight by the HK government, given that "vamp" subculture is rapidly gripping the restless youth of their nation and its only a matter of time before they are in the clutches a full blown nocturnal revolt. Will the people of HK fall prey to this foe or will their be ample supply of bat soup?
Paul, this one is genius. Pure and simple genius. When you got to the question of whether a wooden arrowhead would work, I was laughing. You are the best!
Thank you paul, while exploring the woods with the standard bells and pepper spray setup my uncle unfortunately fell victim to a vampire that was outside of its feeding cycle
Ill make sure to follow your teaching to heart
Thanks for the video Paul!
I won't ask what happened...but instead wish you godspeed in your recovery!
Happy belated Halloween
Really appreciate the holiday special presentations. Who else would make a vampire meat target ? Love the Thanksgiving cooking special. Halloween & Easter offer interesting topics for shooting unusual targets. Here's wishing you fair winds & calm seas on your journey.
Happy Halloween !!!
This is fantastic lol Good luck with your hip brother 🤙I love your channel!
Great presentation as always! I thought that bow might be a bit under-powered for the desired task, but you made good use of the tools you've got. Should you want to do more archery stuff I'd be happy to help out with either a 65lb recurve, or a 70lb compound, don't live too far away. Or I'd recommend a collab with Shadiversity as he's got a crazy selection of medieval longbows (although being an Aussie it'd have to be a remote collab I'm certain.)
Had not thought of that old Jim Stafford classic in years! Thanks Paul!
Paul we feel like friends that have never met. We wish the best for you. You've been a good teacher these past few years.
Please do take care of yourself, Mr. Harrell. Hope you get better really soon. Thank you for your videos, for sharing your knowledge with everybody,... and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Paul, you’re the greatest. I think I like your holiday specials even more than your normal informative content. Hope you have a great one.
So sorry to hear about the broken hip Mr. Paul. I know you're currently battling enough medical things, now add in not only a freshly broken bone, but the damn hip! It's awful to lay in bed with that, it's terrible to try and urinate or hell even pull the pants on/off. I'll continue praying for ya Sir. Take care, thanks as Always! Happy Halloween to you and the Team =)
Easily one of the best channels on UA-cam. I constantly rewatch old episodes. Happy Halloween.
A cane sword! Great idea, hope he runs with it 😊
Thanks Paul! I cant wait for the Thanks Giving and Christmas specials!
Really nice video. It got my mind working on how people might actually deal with vampires if they were real.
Any wood puncturing a vampires heart would kill it traditionally, including normal arrows and crossbow bolts. Ask Van Helsings crossbow or Skyrim
I dont remmber if it was a book or a video game, but one version claimed it had to be a specific species of tree.
Bundle of long matchsticks glued together to make a shotgun slug?
@@stuartjohnson5686 Strychnine tree? A foot of that through the heart'll kill just about anything.
In Skyrim, you can kill a vampire with your bare hands, so it definitely depends on the fiction you are referencing.
Holly or Oak is the general myth@@stuartjohnson5686
Tackling such an amusingly fictitious subject with your usual stoic candour makes for a great video. Kudos!
Happy Halloween and best wishes to you and yours Paul. Thanks for your work and dedication in educating and entertaining us. I hope the hip heals well. Take care.
I use custom made 45 ACP ammo for vampires. It consists of the 185 grain Winchester Silvertip hollow point, the hollow cavity filled with holy water and sealed with a thin plastic plug. The bullet enters the chest or abdomen of Dracula, the plastic is driven into the hollow cavity filled with holy water, the bullet expands and spreads the holy water through the wound. This causes Dracula to melt from the inside out. It's highly effective against vampires and, being a Silvertip, also works well on werewolves. 😁😁😁
What you really need is cold iron core silver metal jacket as all-purpose round for most magic based or fey related creature. While neither is effective in actually killing either, they usually do a fairly good job of slowing down the charge of what is coming giving you enough time to switch to whichever weapon you need provided you have what you're looking for in your spacial storage. Unless you've pissed off a gargoyle. Then you're just *%@ed...
I love how Paul carries over his analytical mannerisms for this video. This is amazing Paul.
Thanks for getting out there, busted hip and all, to get another awesome video out for us, Paul! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
This is a great video, thank you Paul. You're the best!
Out in the field, filming, with just a cane, only one week after breaking his hip? You are a legend!
