@@nicholaslittlefield4424 get broad spectrum, google it; most common one (not sure if youtube likes meds) and idk where to find it but theres plenty of the same stuff available for fish so you can at least pack some for them. (Again, idk about youtubes auto filter).
@@nicholaslittlefield4424 Not sure what Paul uses, im sure he has a different opinion but ive heard many good things about that JASE case product from jase medical. I have yet to try it but when i do ill try and remember to get back here and let yall know!
@@nicholaslittlefield4424 This book is a must-have in my opinion. I bought it years ago and have suggested it to many friends: “Alton's Antibiotics and Infectious Disease: The Layman's Guide to Available Antibacterials in Austere Settings” It is truly the best book of its kind. After the Jase a-holes and gubbermint capitalized the antibiotic market nearly a year ago, you can buy from them at extended prices or find out of country options. Choice there, is yours. I prepped before the a-holes made availability expensive & difficult.
Can we get someone from the Crew to sit down with Paul and a camera and get Paul to tell all of the stories that he's said he wouldn't bore us with over the years?
the young guy carried a deck of cards. As a private pilot I always carried a deck of cards in my flight bag. If I crashed in the middle of nowhere, I could start playing solitaire. Within 10 minutes, someone would be standing over my shoulder saying, "red 10 on the black jack"
When there's a Short Version and a Long Version, that just means we get TWO versions, since I'm willing to bet everybody else does the same as I do, and watched BOTH versions!! Good to see you, Paul!
Mr Harrell probably won’t ever see this comment or read it but I just wanted to say you were like the helpful father I never had growing up. Found you about a decade or so ago. You taught me about guns, clothing, history and the importance of speaking slowly and carefully. I had a dead beat dad. Just wanted to say Mr Harrell you helped a California kid more than you’ll ever know. I wanted to just say thanks for everything and I hope you videos help another little dude going through it someday like it did me. I’ll miss you Mr Harrell and god speed.
Amazing to see Paul supporting and uplifting the young guy who's clearly inexperienced but keen to learn. One chuckle at the fact he "went tent camping once" (fair enough from a guy with Paul's experience) and that was it. A lot of super macho older guys would dismiss the kid and make fun of him for not knowing stuff but Paul went out of his way to point out the good parts of his kit that a lot of people might not think about. He was an amazing teacher gone much too soon. RIP Paul.
Hey “crew” my name Waylon I’m 15 my dad passed away when I was 13 so I’ve been relieing on u guys . Thanks for teaching me so much. Paul thanks for coming on your looking and sounding a lot better.
Keep doing the things and learning from wonderful channels like this. Watch as many of Paul’s videos as you can. Always here to help/try to answer questions.
@@paulharrell7432 Mr. Harrell, thank you for your response. And most of all help you for teaching me such valuable lessons through all these years. Me and my childhood friend have been watching your wonderful content for years. Please keep up the great work. You're an example for all of us.
Thank you to everybody who contributed to this video. It has been really insightful and I have learned a lot. Roy, thank you for keeping this channel running. Keep up the good work. Paul! It is so good to see you! You look stronger and healthier than previously. Thank you for, well, everything, really.
Paul!!! Okay, time to grab my pop tarts and a cup of coffee, throw the video up on the tv, settle into my easy chair for an hour and a half and watch. I’m a simple man.
I've been hoarding my last two packages of pop tarts because I won't have the opportunity to resupply until Tuesday, but I think it would be appropriate to go ahead and make a couple of cups of coffee and break out one of the poptarts for this momentous occasion of 2 Paul Harrell videos on one day for the enjoyment of his legions of loyal viewers. Here's to Paul and Roy for their generosity ❤
I'm still making my way through this presentation. I love seeing the different packs and hearing the different ideas. A few things come to mind. First, one of the problems with being too driven my one's experiences is that sometimes our experiences warp us a little bit. When I was eighteen, I was in a serious caving accident. One friend had a fractured skull, a broken neck, and a broken foot. The other had a compound fracture of the left forearm and about eight different breaks on his right forearm. His right forearm was essentially ground to powder. The guy with the broken arms was the trip leader, and he wanted me to focus on my friend. In the long run, I did only two things for him. One was to empty his pack so that he could sit on his pack and not lose too much heat through sitting on the cold rock. The other was to cut a hole in the top of a trash bag and then put the bag over his head and down his body. All of us in the caving club knew the trick of cutting one hole in the center of the bottom of the bag and one hole in each corner to make a vest. In this case, there was no point in making the corner holes for his arms to be outside the bag. He couldn't use his arms anyway. I spent the rest of my efforts trying to stop the bleeding from my friend's head and trying to keep him warm. He would stop shivering about an hour before the first rescuer arrived. (That rescuer arrived five hours after the initial accident.) After that, I developed a skewed view of first aid kits. To me, anything that could be fixed with a bandaid or only one or two gauze pads was something that didn't even need attention. I would buy entire boxes of gauze pads and double-bag them in ziploc bags. I would have two space blankets and multiple garbage bags. I didn't bother with bandaids. I didn't bother with pain relievers because I hadn't been able to give my friends anything. I carried little heat packs in hopes that I would be able to stave off hypothermia. In time, I gave up this skewed view of first aid kits. I came to realize that band aids can be very helpful. I came to realize that sometimes I will need a pain reliever. I realized that anti-itch cream can be very helpful in the woods when I am hiking and not caving. I stopped focusing all of my first aid stuff on fighting a single kind of severe situation that I had experienced once and realized that I would do myself and others more good if I were prepared for more events even if I were less prepared for the worst events. In terms of a tourniquet, I would carry one if I could find good training on using one. Until I can find and attend that training, I'm hesitant to buy a tourniquet. My other concern with a tourniquet is whether a tourniquet is going to save me in a three-day situation. If I must apply a tourniquet early and can't get medical help for three days, I fear that I'm likely to have serious gangrene within three days. The initial bleeding might not kill me, but the gangrene will. In many ways, I wonder whether I'm better off bleeding to death initially versus dying of gangrene in a day or two. In a TEOTWAWKI situation, I know that I'd be better off dying quickly than dying in two or three weeks. If three days will get me to help, maybe some of these things can save me or others. One of your crew mentioned having a box of .22LR cartridges in his pack. For those to be of value, one would need a firearm in that caliber. Because the ammunition is lightweight, a .22LR firearm is a great choice for a three-day survival kit. However, the choice of .22LR firearm may or may not be clear to different members of your audience. If I had to use a .22LR handgun for self-defense, I'd still rather have an eight-shot, double-action revolver than anything else. Ideally, this revolver would have a six or even seven inch barrel. However, those revolvers are not that popular these days. If I could have a rifle, a breakdown model of a 10/22 would be nice, but they are going to be more bulk and weight in the pack. Something like a Ruger Charger has value, but many of them are made for use only with a scope. I'm curious what people think is the best type of firearm for this scenario. I very much like the idea of headlamps instead of flashlights. When I was without power for six days after Hurricane Gustav, I found that flashlights became tiresome very quickly. If one injuries an arm during that time, being a one-handed person with just a hand flashlight is going to be very inconvenient. I agree with putting two headlamps in this kind of pack. Some of those headlamps have rechargeable batteries and a way to recharge through a USB cable. Recharging with a small solar device or the hand-crank device would be a great benefit. Instead of having two identical headlamps, I'd lean towards having one that recharges and one that runs on regular batteries. For three days of usage, one can carry enough batteries to run a good headlamp on one of the lower settings. I'm not a big fan of threaded connections on anything that will see a great deal of stress. In my career doing failure analysis, I saw many failures of threaded connections. I have a hard time trusting them to endure many cycles of tough usage. If I were trying to take a shovel into the woods for a TEOWAWKI scenario, I'd want a regular shovel with a fiberglass handle. On the other hand, I think Bob's shovel/axe/spear device is going to survive three days of even hard use. For the premise of this exercise, that kind of survival tool could have real value. As I consider these bags, I wonder whether people should change their bags with the seasons. For instance, mosquito netting might have no use during the winter but become very helpful in the summer. Insect repellant in general could be the difference between a not-so-great night's sleep and a night of almost no sleep. I recently had a tooth extracted, and the dentist recommended tea bags to help the wound heal. He said that tannins in the tea can help with the clotting process. One of your crew uses tea as a substitute for chewing tobacco, and that's a brilliant idea already. Does anyone know whether a wetted tea bag might provide some clotting benefit to other wounds. Granted, a tea bag is not going to be sterile, but those that are packed individually often come in a foil pouch. They shouldn't have too many germs. Maybe the clotting assistance would have value.
Roy here. Great points. As to your first aid / trauma kit point. That is why I combine mine or carry one each. We plan on making a firearms choice video to go with this. And as for swapping out gear for the season, also good idea.
Only thing I can recommend to throw in is something to occupy the mind, a deck of cards, a cheap sketchbook and pens, a book, cause I remember even in Scouts, a group bored out of its mind with nothing to do is always gonna have that one guy who will find something and next thing you know there’s a fire you didn’t intend
That's why I've gotten into "bushcrafting"... It's not for everyone, if you'd prefer cards and such, no problem, but that's all more things and more weight to carry. If you can make it yourself, you don't have to carry it with you.
Ditto on the book. I couldn't get through solo hikes/ camping trips without one. My personal favorite is Lord of the Rings. It's long, puts me in a good mood, and the text in the print I have is small, so it's not that big. I have never had much luck with the deck of cards as they blow away in the wind easily.
@PaulHarrell Thank you Mr Paul. When I first started looking for a pistol a couple of years back, one of the first few videos that youtube recommended were your videos. Also thank you Roy and team for picking up the slack for days when your brother may not have the energy to film. I really liked "Bob's" little black mini kit with the shovel/spear/hatchet piece in it.
@@livewire2759Right there with you. For example, right off the bat make yourself a walking stick/staff because they’re so useful but you can discard it with no “wasted money” guilt.
Maybe I missed it but no one seems to have mentioned having maps of the area. I work 30 miles from home, in the event of civil disturbance or natural disaster (both have happened) I have to traverse the city, then the suburbs, then the rural landscape to get home. Although I live in this city there are parts I drive past at 70 mph, walking it might be quite different so I have maps, plus your main route might be blocked by debris or crowds of people you don't have enough ammo to handle. I have small breaching tools in case I need to get through fencing or bypass a lock. Enough of that, I LOVE me a Paul Harrell video and what a treat to meet the whole crew! Fun fact about sextants: I was taking a tour of a B-17 bomber from WW2. In the nose section there was a bubble canopy in the top...for the Navigator to use his sextant to plot their location! While flying in a bomber in enemy territory! The Greatest Generation indeed.
@@Mark-uh4zdI reside in the same state Paul does so all his local laws municipality information is an extra bonus for me. Paul is awesome!! Traumatized
Looks like Paul's put on a little more weight. Great to see him in another video, though I also am loving Roy's progression on the channel. This video really helped clear up a lot of things about Emergency Packs. Godspeed to the both of you!
GOOD to see you Paul --- best wishes My suggestion is use a food-saver vacuum sealer and seal yourselves (long thermal underware, socks, gloves and a beanie cap) that way you'll ALWAYS have something warm AND dry even if you fall into the creek. You'll still need your fire and emergency bivy though.
And for god's sake, vacuum seal those PopTarts, too! A soggy PopTart is no way to start each waking hour of your day. I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend pack my PTs only once - she thought it would be a good idea to vacuum seal sponges (she was dead tired, so she says). At least the sponges were kept dry until I needed them. Weren't bad either, roasted on a stick with marshmallow and chocolate.
Great to see Paul in the field! Overall, this is a fantastic video. I do have four comments... 1. "Buy the most expensive..." I'd change that to "buy the highest quality you can afford" because in the "survival" market I've found that most expensive doesn't always mean highest quality or best utility. 2. One thing I noticed no one had was a pair of wire cutters. Yes, the multi-tools often have one, but they aren't really designed for cutting wire that you might encounter while on foot or traveling. For several years, I had to travel on an interstate or limited access highway for a good 25 miles or so and noticed that along the berm on each side was a heavy wire fence. Often it was a smooth wire, but sometimes it had barbed wire integrated into it. We did a test one day to see what would be the best/most useful wire cutter and discovered the multi-tool cutters just weren't up to the task and they hurt the hand. What we found to be best was a cheap pair of wire cutters from Harbor Freight or an AK bayonet with the wire cutter (or any bayonet with the cutter). Why did I think this would be important? If there was a reason for me to have to abandon the car while on the highway, I didn't want to be limited to staying on the highway until I reached an exit (more for security reasons if it was a non man-made event). 3. A sillcock or utility key. A small tool, but it may be the difference between easily accessing potable water and not. A lot of buildings have external water spigots, but they don't have a knob; this is where the sillcock key comes into play because it is what is used to turn them on and off. 4. I'm not sure if this applies to other states, but it is applicable to Pennsylvania. Get a carry permit even if you don't normally carry concealed. In PA, if there is a declared state of emergency it severely limits your ability to take a firearm off your property, but that is waived if you have a current CCW.
100% agree on the wire cutters. Ran into the need for such a thing on multiple hunting trips but my EDC leatherman is designed specifically for cutting wires. If you can’t afford a Leatherman EOD tool definitely get an AK bayonet with wire cutters cause those things are also very much a multi tool
Seeing Paul like this both fills me with joy and breaks my heart. I can only hope that when it's my time, people give a fraction of a damn that we give about Paul. It's a sign of a life well lived, and we're better having had him in it.
It's not like you're paying extra for the long version. The long version is where all of the little golden nuggets hide. You only get the highlights with the short.
Paul and Roy, the insect repellent is not a joke. As I heard it I started thinking on how many bottles (pump type) that I have. At least 6 bottles in each of my Jeeps, a half dozen setting up my porch, one with my 4wheelers. As a police officer I kept 3-4 in side pocket of my patrol bag. Something that I always have, it started as a kid out fishing and has only been reinforced from being stationed in mosquitoes and other insects infested locations. As a patrol officer in S.E. GA. it's a critical thing too.
Off all the videos i couldve stumbled across tonight. This makes me the happiest. Thanks paul. The best thing you can have in your 3 day pack is good neighbours. Good community.
“Bob” is so fortunate to have been able to learn from Paul so closely. I am envious. Paul’s breadth of knowledge is so vast I feel like you can learn from him perpetually…❤❤❤
i appreciated bobs pack his inexperience showed but it was endearing. you can tell that everything he carried was oriented in the right direction . also nice to see the crew on camera!
yeah haha thats about what i started out like too. lol my bug out bag has gone through probably 10 iterations in the last 15 years. lol the one thing i always aim for now is light weight. i had too much bulky, heavy, and reduntant stuff, much like our friend bob here. lol
Paul, you're looking great. I hope you're feeling well and on the path to recovery. You are a valuable contributor to the firearms community and to society at large. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as they can only help. Thank you for everything you and your brother contribute; much love to you both.
He will if he ever has to carry it in an emergency for 3 days. That shovel, sextant, and those lovely binoculars are going in a ditch before noon on the first day.
It truly is amazing to see Paul in good spirits and able to still make such an informative set of videos for his fans. There have been a couple of videos where he’s said he wouldn’t be on video anymore and I’m grateful to see him these times after.
Here are two items to consider for your kits: 1) A tube of Super Glue. It weighs virtually nothing, lasts forever when unopened, and can be used for repairs on shoes/boots, flashlights or other equipment, and in some cases, a substitute for stitches. 2) If you have orthodontic braces, a small diagonal cutting pliers. If one of the bands should come loose, you'll have a wire flopping around in your mouth until someone can cut it back. I used both of those items while on camping trips in Boy Scouts.
Super glue gel is for sure always with me. Just be sure if a cut breaks open and it already has glue, don't keep spreading it on it does kill skin tissue. So it can start other problems.
Thank you lord for letting a man like paul entertain us, while helping us get ready. For what he probably won't have to live through. Glad you had a blessed life
No one had contractor garbage bags in their packs. Can be used as rain gear, filled with leafs as a to be used as sleeping system, to carry water, With some duct tape used to make shelter. 50 gallon trach bags are useful survival gear.
I'm not a big guntube guy but I came across one of your videos a while ago and thought you were a wonderful teacher and presenter. You tackled the divisive and difficult subject of mass shootings with decency, sanity and even-handedness; qualities all too rare in public discourse these days. You've clearly earned the respect and admiration of many and it's not hard to see why. You're leaving a real legacy with your work here and I'm grateful to have found it. I hope you're as well as you can be.
Everyone has a compass, but how many know their pace count? My favorite is "Bob", he did not have the best kit by far but he had the enthusiasm. As someone who taught survival for more than 20 years. I have found that Bob's attitude is the right one, and with a little more knowledge. He would be a great survivalist. I also love Paul's approach. Nothing is wrong here, but let me offer a few suggestions to help enhance your already good kit. He is not judging his kit but encouraging him and showing interest in his choices. 70% of survival is mental. You could have the greatest kit in the world, but if you have no will to survive, you won't! I would emphasize Bob's thinking that he wants playing cards to not go crazy. Good thinking, what else can you do to help your mental help? Fresh water, food, snacks, medical. What's going to keep you motivated to survive?
Seems like a few should go camping/night or two outside using their items, I like hiking but also know others that pack the kitchen sink and repack when they get back home. already have a pencil sharpener... it's one of the blades/knives.
Great information, and I will be adjusting my pack(s) based on this. thanks again to Paul and the crew. One thing to add. I work a job where I wear business casual to business dress on a daily basis. Great for work. Not great if I need to go mobile, so my trunk kit includes a change of clothes - which I adjust seasonally. Layers, thermals, boots, etc. Furthermore, as I travel in urban environments, I keep a key to turn on commercial water spigots in my tool kit and a non-phone based GPS system and maps.
!Permethrin Having your 'extra' clothes coated in bug repellant is useful, also treating your sleeping gear with it. Military uniforms come treated in a bug repellant, but it fades with washes.
So happy to see Paul looking better than he has recently. For that matter, glad to see him period. Excellent video. Lots of great advice, and great meeting the crew.
Paul! Great video, team. Love the subject of the presentation and that you selected a setup that gives Paul the opportunity to be a part of it. Unbelievably well done everybody. Love every minute of it❤🙏🤙👍💯🇺🇸
This put the biggest smile on my face today seeing Paul doing some more instructional videos. We keep praying for you bud, it looks like it's helping. :D
You old Dogs are Awesome. Love the work you guys do to keep us informed, I learn so much more about what’s right and what’s wrong by watching you guys . Thanks again
I went with the long version first. Paul, it's great to see you. A cyber handshake to "Joe" for soldiering through his segment, & a special thanks to Paul for helping him out, just enough, when needed.
One thing I would note, being Seniors, my better half and I share a 3-Day Bag, so some items in the kit are doubled up so we'll both have the gear needed, 2 ponchos, 2 E bags and so on. Food and water are twice what a solo bag would contain (we use freeze drieds to save on weight). Great point though that these are an everday kit, to get you through a catastrophe, not bug outs or SHTF bags, more GHBs than anything else. A Compass, in case the need to hoof it is there, and a map of your area. I never trust my memory of the terrain or routes. Great Video Paul and Roy. Roy, you're doing a fantastic job of stepping into a very big pair of boots to fill. Paul, heck of a job fighting your illness, you're in our daily prayers always. Roy, spot on, getting a Tech HAM license takes a day, and is well worth the time spent.
Paul, I love you and the knowledge you've imparted to me since 2012 when I discovered your channel. God speed man. My mom had pancreatic cancer. It wasn't caught and she was gone in 2 weeks. There will never be another like you and your Shatneresque pauses. When I first heard you say that, I laughed for 5 minutes.
Very informative. I also watched the short version. I am in the process of setting up a bag for each vehicle in my household. Y'all have given me some good ideas. Something Paul mentioned concerning personal health and abilities. Me being 66 and a little beaten up with age and experience: NAVY, Army National Guard, police, firefighter, EMT, Nurse. A lot of experience in life can damage the body but I would do it again if I could. Also 2 weeks out of having some throat surgery. You have to be realistic about what you can and can't do so plan and pack accordingly. Again, thank you all for the information and education.
I'm glad to see the multiple perspectives in each member's packs. It could've easily wound up as a bunch of guys in their 40s/50s with ALICE packs. Saw some ideas that hadn't occurred to me, and I do a lot of thinking and planning when it comes to gear. Thanks for the presentation, gentlemen.

I like the section where you talked about having an AM/FM radio. I have a NOAA emergency ather radio and I used a label maker and printed the station channel of my region's 24-hour news station. So in the event of an emergency, i can quickly tune to the news station channel.
One of the best things to have in my opinion is a decent hand saw....Silky or knockoff...so much easier to cut wood... So great so see Paul and hear what he says on this important subject of what to have in the pack!!!.....enjoyed the variety of what others are keeping in their packs, and I picked up several tidbits.
Nice kit Paul! And your 100% correct about "Not worth a dam if you can't heft it or don't have it with you!" I do keep a large and cumbersome (35-40 pound) back pack with all the good stuff but, it's only good if I have reliable transportation (my 4x4 pick-up), I have a detailed video of this bag on my channel. I used to be able to hump it around for hours at a time with little to no issues but I'm getting old now so I have made a few smaller kit's that are under 10-20 pound's. One way to lighten up your bag (and enable use of smaller bag's) is to use Life-boat food! You can get 1, 2 or 3 days worth of calories in a small light-weight cube of shelf stable ration-bars! I have 1 of the 2500 calorie cube's and about 8 or 10 of the single 400 calorie bars in my medium size survival kit, a combo "fannie-pack" style and super light duty back-pack with a quite comfortable suspender's set-up, unless I want to add some bottled water the whole thing is way under 20 pound's! I keep this kit and some basic hand tools in my personal vehicle with a lot of bottled water however, the area I live in has an abundance of natural available water and yearly rainfall. One suggestion I'd give to everyone is to keep a radio and recharging ability (small solar & rechargeable batteries or power-bank) in a Faraday-Cage or Faraday-Bag in case of the ever lingering EMP attack or a burst of coronal energy from the sun, I've found $20 bag's on Amazon that hold quite a bit of stuff for just such an emergency. An old-fashioned analog cell-phone might work but the net-work and towers will be toast for a long time in this scenario, the government and many large corporations have "Hardened" gear but not everyone will be ready for the trouble of this type of event.
This was a really great video for many reasons. 1 Paul was in it. 2 I really like how the age group is broken up within the "Crew". 3. Both of the young men had (and were proud to have) certain items that Paul gave them. 4. Its cool to see the older dudes mentoring and teaching the younger dudes. 4. Its almost like you guys started your own type of Scout Troop that knows no age limit. Good stuff guys!
Great to see Paul. I carry a small "essential" bag with me always, in my "3 day" emergency grab bag (which is set up for the Southwest US) I also throw in a couple of empty draw string bags. They don't take up much space or weight, but give you the option to pick up things along you way if you need to, say you come across a case of bottled water, you can throw some bottles in a string bag and hang in on your main pack, etc.
I like "Bob's" navigation kit! So few of us can navigate by the stars and even tell direction without a compass. The sextant and watch are essential for that. The rangefinder is great, I did not know they sold replicas of those.
I used the business computer to watch paul videos as I was finishing up repairs after hours one night but forgot to close the tab. When I came in the next day all the guys in the shop were watching his videos. They were like... this guy is awesome. The best part is none of them are firearms enthusiasts.
Two things that I carry in my pack for my area that might interest you and other viewers is a registered PLB and a compact set of aerial flares. Where I go hunting in my state of Florida there is zero cell phone coverage. Water and means to signal for help are the two most important survival items. You need water more than food and to signal to get out of your situation. I have legal side arm and long gun as well as the items you all mentioned. Great tutorial guys!
59:07 Space blanket refers to the blankets sent into space on the Apollo missions as they were required to shut down all the computers to save power which made the space ship cold. With every gram going into space mattering, in comes the "space blanket" which also insulates EMI and can be used to shield wires or shield electronics from EMI/EMF.
I dig John's Jone's cap. If you've never had one, you don't know what a perfect headgear they are...in my opinion. Super helpful video by the way. It's still in prgress but it will be one of those that we go back to again and again. Thanks. Great to see Paul as well as so many of your group.
i noticed they are made with a chemical known to cause harmful reactions xD seems a bit unwise for a battery device that will need maintenance to perform properly, you can't just leave it in the box til you need it
So good to see Paul hanging in there. I've had my Ham radio General license for a few years now. And yes you need one to operate on most of the ham radio bands/ frequencies... but I would like to point out, in a true emergency situation you do not need a licenses, that was actually a test question when I went to get my license. If you are in a real emergency ... you can use ANY ham radio equipment including the HF bands to get help and you will not face legal trouble as a result.
Hey guys! Greetings from Ukraine! In my bag I have some stuff that I does not seen in yours so I'll try to remember all of stuff and write it here (without checking)/ So it's good bag 5.11 brand, and first of all it's med kit. It have 2 tourniquets, 2 bandages (israel kind: 1 small and 1 normal), chest seal and some other stuff. First of all it's firemaple/jetboil cooking tool. Because it's really crucial to have access to warm food/drinks. Sleeping.... I have really lightweight sleeping bag that good for summer, but in cold weather it will be nice to have instead of nothing. I had interesting variant of bundeswehr sleeping mat with additional holdings on my belt so I always can seat on "warm" mat. Or if I need to sleep I will have good shielding from ground. I have nice system for water clearing but in the same time I have pack of pills for water. Also I had sprays against insects but... I also do have kind of net-mask against them.. 2 pairs of glows, 2-3 knives, some nuts or sublimates, and at least 2x1.5 bottles 1.5 liters of water. Multitul, some medicaments just to be sure. 2-3 knives, set for fixing clothes, 2 compases, some map of locations agound in paper... some balistol as CLP. And it's strange.. but I does not saw any radiostation... I have 2 baofengs with am/fm on board, also I have 3 batterers for that crap... But we can get connection away without issues.
Still good to see you Paul. Now being I am originally from Austin, Texas (Don’t live there now) I did not carry a 3 day emergency kit that was because my daily needs as a RNA/former Pinkerton always changed especially when I had to travel form job site to job site. Did my best to keep a cb radio, or police ban radio if job site required (air field required), a first aid kit with BP cuff, stethoscope and road side assistance kit, and money as I’d need it if I had to hike a 140 miles during the summer. And I did 50 once. That was my 3 day emergency kit if you’d call it that. As if I was hiking for whatever, reason I’d pick up and drop what I’d need as I needed it along the way.
Good to see the Harrell's together Paul. a 3-day survival pack... Much like my #2 field pack I carried in the Army for decades. Gotta have your Poggi-Bait. ^~^

For all those wanting informarion on the radio / crank recharger here you are. Ready Hour brand. AM/FM/ NOAA weather bands. Got it at Patriot Supply. About $50.00 USD.
Thanks Roy. I actually was wondering where you guys are finding and what anti biotics you guys use. Thank you as always.
Paul got the number one thing wrong
Number 1 thing is listen to what Paul has taught us old and young men
@@nicholaslittlefield4424 get broad spectrum, google it; most common one (not sure if youtube likes meds) and idk where to find it but theres plenty of the same stuff available for fish so you can at least pack some for them. (Again, idk about youtubes auto filter).
@@nicholaslittlefield4424 Not sure what Paul uses, im sure he has a different opinion but ive heard many good things about that JASE case product from jase medical. I have yet to try it but when i do ill try and remember to get back here and let yall know!
@@nicholaslittlefield4424
This book is a must-have in my opinion. I bought it years ago and have suggested it to many friends: “Alton's Antibiotics and Infectious Disease: The Layman's Guide to Available Antibacterials in Austere Settings” It is truly the best book of its kind. After the Jase a-holes and gubbermint capitalized the antibiotic market nearly a year ago, you can buy from them at extended prices or find out of country options. Choice there, is yours. I prepped before the a-holes made availability expensive & difficult.
Can we get someone from the Crew to sit down with Paul and a camera and get Paul to tell all of the stories that he's said he wouldn't bore us with over the years?
someone has to compile a list of them, i bet there are tons of great stories we havent heard
Yes please, I'd like to see that
👍
+1 for this, absolutely. “Bore” the hell out of us!! I can’t wait!!
Oh HELL yeah! :D
the young guy carried a deck of cards. As a private pilot I always carried a deck of cards in my flight bag. If I crashed in the middle of nowhere, I could start playing solitaire. Within 10 minutes, someone would be standing over my shoulder saying, "red 10 on the black jack"
LOL
When there's a Short Version and a Long Version, that just means we get TWO versions, since I'm willing to bet everybody else does the same as I do, and watched BOTH versions!! Good to see you, Paul!
Yes Sir
Yep!
Everybody else would just cut a short version.
And watched both TWICE! Just that level of entertainment and value! And super good to see Paul, Roy and "The Crew", as well.
Watched short then the long version.
Mr Harrell probably won’t ever see this comment or read it but I just wanted to say you were like the helpful father I never had growing up. Found you about a decade or so ago. You taught me about guns, clothing, history and the importance of speaking slowly and carefully. I had a dead beat dad. Just wanted to say Mr Harrell you helped a California kid more than you’ll ever know. I wanted to just say thanks for everything and I hope you videos help another little dude going through it someday like it did me. I’ll miss you Mr Harrell and god speed.
This means more to me than words can properly express. God bless everyone in your family Mr Harrell.
Thanks for coming on Paul
That sentence desperately needs a comma, but I agree with the version that has one before the final word.
😳
Carter Slate dont need yo damn thanks. Ye Haw
@@the_guitarcadeIt's an "o," not a "u."
@@the_guitarcade😆😂🤣
Now that's funny.
Amazing to see Paul supporting and uplifting the young guy who's clearly inexperienced but keen to learn. One chuckle at the fact he "went tent camping once" (fair enough from a guy with Paul's experience) and that was it. A lot of super macho older guys would dismiss the kid and make fun of him for not knowing stuff but Paul went out of his way to point out the good parts of his kit that a lot of people might not think about. He was an amazing teacher gone much too soon. RIP Paul.
God Bless Paul Harrell. 🫡
I saw the upload and was going to post the exact same words. Guess I don't have to, God bless.
Amen to that.
not sure when this was filmed, but he looks alot better than he did in the grand thumb interview
Yes, God has blessed me.
One of his greatest blessings is people like you.
Amen, the goat
So great to hear your voice Paul. Stay Strong
Hey “crew” my name Waylon I’m 15 my dad passed away when I was 13 so I’ve been relieing on u guys . Thanks for teaching me so much. Paul thanks for coming on your looking and sounding a lot better.
You found good mentors young man!
Keep doing the things and learning from wonderful channels like this. Watch as many of Paul’s videos as you can. Always here to help/try to answer questions.
In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
you find the right crew!
Your father must be a great man to get you started. Keep the faith he's watching you from above literally. God bless you on your journey
Paul, you're looking way better. Your voice has more bravado in it too ! Thank God !
That's what I thought too. Thank you for sharing. You said it much better than I would have.
Yes, "Thank God."
And thank you to everyone who has been praying for me.
@@paulharrell7432 Mr. Harrell, thank you for your response. And most of all help you for teaching me such valuable lessons through all these years. Me and my childhood friend have been watching your wonderful content for years. Please keep up the great work. You're an example for all of us.
When was this recorded?
He does look better
Thank you to everybody who contributed to this video. It has been really insightful and I have learned a lot. Roy, thank you for keeping this channel running. Keep up the good work. Paul! It is so good to see you! You look stronger and healthier than previously. Thank you for, well, everything, really.
Our pleasure!
Short version? I don't think so.
Short is worth the watch..
@@fruitfarmfords8243it’s value is sending to someone you know won’t watch the real version
Short version is for low-t jabronis
@@fruitfarmfords8243 realistically, I'll end up watching both. Long version now, short version in a week or so.
Facts don't need your feels.
It was so good to see Paul with young Bob. He really looked interested and happy. We rarely see Paul smile, but he did here. I smiled with him.
Paul!!! Okay, time to grab my pop tarts and a cup of coffee, throw the video up on the tv, settle into my easy chair for an hour and a half and watch. I’m a simple man.
Thank you.
I've been hoarding my last
two packages of pop tarts
because I won't have the opportunity to resupply until
Tuesday, but I think it would
be appropriate to go ahead and make a couple of cups
of coffee and break out one
of the poptarts for this momentous occasion of 2
Paul Harrell videos on one
day for the enjoyment of his
legions of loyal viewers.
Here's to Paul and Roy for
their generosity ❤
@@maxpinson5002 Amen!
@@PaulHarrell Yessir! And thank YOU!
@@PaulHarrellthe thanks go to you, Roy, & the crew.
I'm still making my way through this presentation. I love seeing the different packs and hearing the different ideas.
A few things come to mind.
First, one of the problems with being too driven my one's experiences is that sometimes our experiences warp us a little bit. When I was eighteen, I was in a serious caving accident. One friend had a fractured skull, a broken neck, and a broken foot. The other had a compound fracture of the left forearm and about eight different breaks on his right forearm. His right forearm was essentially ground to powder. The guy with the broken arms was the trip leader, and he wanted me to focus on my friend. In the long run, I did only two things for him. One was to empty his pack so that he could sit on his pack and not lose too much heat through sitting on the cold rock. The other was to cut a hole in the top of a trash bag and then put the bag over his head and down his body. All of us in the caving club knew the trick of cutting one hole in the center of the bottom of the bag and one hole in each corner to make a vest. In this case, there was no point in making the corner holes for his arms to be outside the bag. He couldn't use his arms anyway. I spent the rest of my efforts trying to stop the bleeding from my friend's head and trying to keep him warm. He would stop shivering about an hour before the first rescuer arrived. (That rescuer arrived five hours after the initial accident.) After that, I developed a skewed view of first aid kits. To me, anything that could be fixed with a bandaid or only one or two gauze pads was something that didn't even need attention. I would buy entire boxes of gauze pads and double-bag them in ziploc bags. I would have two space blankets and multiple garbage bags. I didn't bother with bandaids. I didn't bother with pain relievers because I hadn't been able to give my friends anything. I carried little heat packs in hopes that I would be able to stave off hypothermia.
In time, I gave up this skewed view of first aid kits. I came to realize that band aids can be very helpful. I came to realize that sometimes I will need a pain reliever. I realized that anti-itch cream can be very helpful in the woods when I am hiking and not caving. I stopped focusing all of my first aid stuff on fighting a single kind of severe situation that I had experienced once and realized that I would do myself and others more good if I were prepared for more events even if I were less prepared for the worst events.
In terms of a tourniquet, I would carry one if I could find good training on using one. Until I can find and attend that training, I'm hesitant to buy a tourniquet.
My other concern with a tourniquet is whether a tourniquet is going to save me in a three-day situation. If I must apply a tourniquet early and can't get medical help for three days, I fear that I'm likely to have serious gangrene within three days. The initial bleeding might not kill me, but the gangrene will. In many ways, I wonder whether I'm better off bleeding to death initially versus dying of gangrene in a day or two. In a TEOTWAWKI situation, I know that I'd be better off dying quickly than dying in two or three weeks. If three days will get me to help, maybe some of these things can save me or others.
One of your crew mentioned having a box of .22LR cartridges in his pack. For those to be of value, one would need a firearm in that caliber. Because the ammunition is lightweight, a .22LR firearm is a great choice for a three-day survival kit. However, the choice of .22LR firearm may or may not be clear to different members of your audience. If I had to use a .22LR handgun for self-defense, I'd still rather have an eight-shot, double-action revolver than anything else. Ideally, this revolver would have a six or even seven inch barrel. However, those revolvers are not that popular these days. If I could have a rifle, a breakdown model of a 10/22 would be nice, but they are going to be more bulk and weight in the pack. Something like a Ruger Charger has value, but many of them are made for use only with a scope. I'm curious what people think is the best type of firearm for this scenario.
I very much like the idea of headlamps instead of flashlights. When I was without power for six days after Hurricane Gustav, I found that flashlights became tiresome very quickly. If one injuries an arm during that time, being a one-handed person with just a hand flashlight is going to be very inconvenient. I agree with putting two headlamps in this kind of pack. Some of those headlamps have rechargeable batteries and a way to recharge through a USB cable. Recharging with a small solar device or the hand-crank device would be a great benefit. Instead of having two identical headlamps, I'd lean towards having one that recharges and one that runs on regular batteries. For three days of usage, one can carry enough batteries to run a good headlamp on one of the lower settings.
I'm not a big fan of threaded connections on anything that will see a great deal of stress. In my career doing failure analysis, I saw many failures of threaded connections. I have a hard time trusting them to endure many cycles of tough usage. If I were trying to take a shovel into the woods for a TEOWAWKI scenario, I'd want a regular shovel with a fiberglass handle. On the other hand, I think Bob's shovel/axe/spear device is going to survive three days of even hard use. For the premise of this exercise, that kind of survival tool could have real value.
As I consider these bags, I wonder whether people should change their bags with the seasons. For instance, mosquito netting might have no use during the winter but become very helpful in the summer. Insect repellant in general could be the difference between a not-so-great night's sleep and a night of almost no sleep.
I recently had a tooth extracted, and the dentist recommended tea bags to help the wound heal. He said that tannins in the tea can help with the clotting process. One of your crew uses tea as a substitute for chewing tobacco, and that's a brilliant idea already. Does anyone know whether a wetted tea bag might provide some clotting benefit to other wounds. Granted, a tea bag is not going to be sterile, but those that are packed individually often come in a foil pouch. They shouldn't have too many germs. Maybe the clotting assistance would have value.
Roy here. Great points. As to your first aid / trauma kit point. That is why I combine mine or carry one each. We plan on making a firearms choice video to go with this. And as for swapping out gear for the season, also good idea.
Only thing I can recommend to throw in is something to occupy the mind, a deck of cards, a cheap sketchbook and pens, a book, cause I remember even in Scouts, a group bored out of its mind with nothing to do is always gonna have that one guy who will find something and next thing you know there’s a fire you didn’t intend
Bob has such stuff in his pack.
That's why I've gotten into "bushcrafting"... It's not for everyone, if you'd prefer cards and such, no problem, but that's all more things and more weight to carry. If you can make it yourself, you don't have to carry it with you.
Ditto on the book. I couldn't get through solo hikes/ camping trips without one. My personal favorite is Lord of the Rings. It's long, puts me in a good mood, and the text in the print I have is small, so it's not that big. I have never had much luck with the deck of cards as they blow away in the wind easily.
@PaulHarrell Thank you Mr Paul. When I first started looking for a pistol a couple of years back, one of the first few videos that youtube recommended were your videos. Also thank you Roy and team for picking up the slack for days when your brother may not have the energy to film.
I really liked "Bob's" little black mini kit with the shovel/spear/hatchet piece in it.
@@livewire2759Right there with you. For example, right off the bat make yourself a walking stick/staff because they’re so useful but you can discard it with no “wasted money” guilt.
“Bob” is a lucky guy having Paul as a mentor! You can tell watching them together.
Great to see Paul on camera
Maybe I missed it but no one seems to have mentioned having maps of the area. I work 30 miles from home, in the event of civil disturbance or natural disaster (both have happened) I have to traverse the city, then the suburbs, then the rural landscape to get home. Although I live in this city there are parts I drive past at 70 mph, walking it might be quite different so I have maps, plus your main route might be blocked by debris or crowds of people you don't have enough ammo to handle. I have small breaching tools in case I need to get through fencing or bypass a lock. Enough of that, I LOVE me a Paul Harrell video and what a treat to meet the whole crew! Fun fact about sextants: I was taking a tour of a B-17 bomber from WW2. In the nose section there was a bubble canopy in the top...for the Navigator to use his sextant to plot their location! While flying in a bomber in enemy territory! The Greatest Generation indeed.
If it's a hilly county, like mine, topographical maps are a plus.
So Happy to see Paul! This made my Sunday! This has been my favorite channel for a decade!!
Definitely one of the best in the firearm genre. No shilling of products, everything is to the point, knowledgable, and I enjoy Paul’s sense of humor.
@@Mark-uh4zdI reside in the same state Paul does so all his local laws municipality information is an extra bonus for me. Paul is awesome!! Traumatized
Looks like Paul's put on a little more weight. Great to see him in another video, though I also am loving Roy's progression on the channel.
This video really helped clear up a lot of things about Emergency Packs. Godspeed to the both of you!
Roy has absolutely been getting more comfortable in front of the camera and into his groove. 💯
GOOD to see you Paul --- best wishes
My suggestion is use a food-saver vacuum sealer and seal yourselves (long thermal underware, socks, gloves and a beanie cap) that way you'll ALWAYS have something warm AND dry even if you fall into the creek. You'll still need your fire and emergency bivy though.
And for god's sake, vacuum seal those PopTarts, too! A soggy PopTart is no way to start each waking hour of your day. I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend pack my PTs only once - she thought it would be a good idea to vacuum seal sponges (she was dead tired, so she says). At least the sponges were kept dry until I needed them. Weren't bad either, roasted on a stick with marshmallow and chocolate.
Great to see Paul in the field! Overall, this is a fantastic video. I do have four comments...
1. "Buy the most expensive..." I'd change that to "buy the highest quality you can afford" because in the "survival" market I've found that most expensive doesn't always mean highest quality or best utility.
2. One thing I noticed no one had was a pair of wire cutters. Yes, the multi-tools often have one, but they aren't really designed for cutting wire that you might encounter while on foot or traveling. For several years, I had to travel on an interstate or limited access highway for a good 25 miles or so and noticed that along the berm on each side was a heavy wire fence. Often it was a smooth wire, but sometimes it had barbed wire integrated into it. We did a test one day to see what would be the best/most useful wire cutter and discovered the multi-tool cutters just weren't up to the task and they hurt the hand. What we found to be best was a cheap pair of wire cutters from Harbor Freight or an AK bayonet with the wire cutter (or any bayonet with the cutter).
Why did I think this would be important? If there was a reason for me to have to abandon the car while on the highway, I didn't want to be limited to staying on the highway until I reached an exit (more for security reasons if it was a non man-made event).
3. A sillcock or utility key. A small tool, but it may be the difference between easily accessing potable water and not. A lot of buildings have external water spigots, but they don't have a knob; this is where the sillcock key comes into play because it is what is used to turn them on and off.
4. I'm not sure if this applies to other states, but it is applicable to Pennsylvania. Get a carry permit even if you don't normally carry concealed. In PA, if there is a declared state of emergency it severely limits your ability to take a firearm off your property, but that is waived if you have a current CCW.
Excellent suggestion, thanks.
100% agree on the wire cutters. Ran into the need for such a thing on multiple hunting trips but my EDC leatherman is designed specifically for cutting wires. If you can’t afford a Leatherman EOD tool definitely get an AK bayonet with wire cutters cause those things are also very much a multi tool
I definitely agree with #1. Value is king. The law of diminishing returns applies to every product.
Always great to see Paul out in the field.
Saw the short version, immediately left for this. Glad to see Paul still involved with this channel, it warms my heart every time
Did you watch the short version in full?
I will always listen to the long version. Thanks guys
Seeing Paul like this both fills me with joy and breaks my heart. I can only hope that when it's my time, people give a fraction of a damn that we give about Paul. It's a sign of a life well lived, and we're better having had him in it.
Good to see you Paul !
Look forward to seeing some of the crew too.
Especially love the long talk from you !
It's not like you're paying extra for the long version. The long version is where all of the little golden nuggets hide. You only get the highlights with the short.
@@dangvorbei5304 I watch both ! So great to see Paul again. Great to see the interaction with Roy too !
Paul and Roy, the insect repellent is not a joke. As I heard it I started thinking on how many bottles (pump type) that I have. At least 6 bottles in each of my Jeeps, a half dozen setting up my porch, one with my 4wheelers. As a police officer I kept 3-4 in side pocket of my patrol bag. Something that I always have, it started as a kid out fishing and has only been reinforced from being stationed in mosquitoes and other insects infested locations. As a patrol officer in S.E. GA. it's a critical thing too.
Rest of us just need to travel with you being the bait.
glad to see you still show up on the channel, hope you get better
a lot of wisdom here
Off all the videos i couldve stumbled across tonight. This makes me the happiest. Thanks paul. The best thing you can have in your 3 day pack is good neighbours. Good community.
“Bob” is so fortunate to have been able to learn from Paul so closely. I am envious. Paul’s breadth of knowledge is so vast I feel like you can learn from him perpetually…❤❤❤
i appreciated bobs pack his inexperience showed but it was endearing. you can tell that everything he carried was oriented in the right direction . also nice to see the crew on camera!
yeah haha thats about what i started out like too. lol my bug out bag has gone through probably 10 iterations in the last 15 years. lol the one thing i always aim for now is light weight. i had too much bulky, heavy, and reduntant stuff, much like our friend bob here. lol
Paul, you're looking great. I hope you're feeling well and on the path to recovery. You are a valuable contributor to the firearms community and to society at large. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as they can only help. Thank you for everything you and your brother contribute; much love to you both.
Bob never get rid of anything Paul gives you. You are lucky to have a mentor like Paul.
He will if he ever has to carry it in an emergency for 3 days. That shovel, sextant, and those lovely binoculars are going in a ditch before noon on the first day.
Wonderful to see Paul our HERO and your brother is doing you PROUD as well.
It truly is amazing to see Paul in good spirits and able to still make such an informative set of videos for his fans. There have been a couple of videos where he’s said he wouldn’t be on video anymore and I’m grateful to see him these times after.
John is really good on camera. He just seams really natural at it.
Thank you!
That's my brother. He's a natural and passionate in this area!
Here are two items to consider for your kits: 1) A tube of Super Glue. It weighs virtually nothing, lasts forever when unopened, and can be used for repairs on shoes/boots, flashlights or other equipment, and in some cases, a substitute for stitches. 2) If you have orthodontic braces, a small diagonal cutting pliers. If one of the bands should come loose, you'll have a wire flopping around in your mouth until someone can cut it back. I used both of those items while on camping trips in Boy Scouts.
Super glue gel is for sure always with me. Just be sure if a cut breaks open and it already has glue, don't keep spreading it on it does kill skin tissue. So it can start other problems.
Anyone else watch both the short AND long version to make sure you got as much info as possible? Good stuff and great to see Paul back on video
Yep, both had different items, some people did one or the other.
Thank you lord for letting a man like paul entertain us, while helping us get ready. For what he probably won't have to live through. Glad you had a blessed life
No one had contractor garbage bags in their packs. Can be used as rain gear, filled with leafs as a to be used as sleeping system, to carry water, With some duct tape used to make shelter. 50 gallon trach bags are useful survival gear.
Get the blaze orange ones! They can be helpful in a distress situation.
The first guy to show off his pack had one…
I'm not a big guntube guy but I came across one of your videos a while ago and thought you were a wonderful teacher and presenter. You tackled the divisive and difficult subject of mass shootings with decency, sanity and even-handedness; qualities all too rare in public discourse these days.
You've clearly earned the respect and admiration of many and it's not hard to see why. You're leaving a real legacy with your work here and I'm grateful to have found it. I hope you're as well as you can be.
So good to hear your Shatneresque pauses again. God bless you, Paul.
Everyone has a compass, but how many know their pace count? My favorite is "Bob", he did not have the best kit by far but he had the enthusiasm. As someone who taught survival for more than 20 years. I have found that Bob's attitude is the right one, and with a little more knowledge. He would be a great survivalist. I also love Paul's approach. Nothing is wrong here, but let me offer a few suggestions to help enhance your already good kit. He is not judging his kit but encouraging him and showing interest in his choices. 70% of survival is mental. You could have the greatest kit in the world, but if you have no will to survive, you won't! I would emphasize Bob's thinking that he wants playing cards to not go crazy. Good thinking, what else can you do to help your mental help? Fresh water, food, snacks, medical. What's going to keep you motivated to survive?
great comment. I keep a book of crossword puzzles, a few pencils, a pencil sharpener and a little clip board in my pack.
Pictures of your family
Seems like a few should go camping/night or two outside using their items, I like hiking but also know others that pack the kitchen sink and repack when they get back home.
already have a pencil sharpener... it's one of the blades/knives.
Paul Harrell is a legend.
Great information, and I will be adjusting my pack(s) based on this. thanks again to Paul and the crew. One thing to add. I work a job where I wear business casual to business dress on a daily basis. Great for work. Not great if I need to go mobile, so my trunk kit includes a change of clothes - which I adjust seasonally. Layers, thermals, boots, etc. Furthermore, as I travel in urban environments, I keep a key to turn on commercial water spigots in my tool kit and a non-phone based GPS system and maps.
Paul! Hope you're feeling alright brother.
We love ya!
!Permethrin
Having your 'extra' clothes coated in bug repellant is useful, also treating your sleeping gear with it. Military uniforms come treated in a bug repellant, but it fades with washes.
Good to hear your voice Paul, hope you’re feeling as well as can be .
So happy to see Paul looking better than he has recently. For that matter, glad to see him period.
Excellent video. Lots of great advice, and great meeting the crew.
As always.... Great content ..... We Love you as a Brother...... Thank YOU PAUL for what you do and how you do it....
Just finished the short version, but man, I can never get enough of Mr. Harrell passing on words of wisdom. God bless you sir.
Thank you for blessing us with your presence, Paul.
1:01:25 I knew I heard my Gaydar Bleep Bloopin like crazy😅😅 Thank you for sparing us Victors Secret.
I'm pretty sure Victor has no secrets.😆😅🤣
Paul! Great video, team. Love the subject of the presentation and that you selected a setup that gives Paul the opportunity to be a part of it. Unbelievably well done everybody. Love every minute of it❤🙏🤙👍💯🇺🇸
This put the biggest smile on my face today seeing Paul doing some more instructional videos. We keep praying for you bud, it looks like it's helping. :D
Love the film canister conversation at 20:20.. yes we remember a few interesting uses for them 😂
I still shoot film, so I've got tons of them with junk in them! Screws, safety pins, vitamins, quarters, and whatever's.
Bud stash. Which is in my 3-day pack.
It's that or altoids cans lol
You old Dogs are Awesome. Love the work you guys do to keep us informed, I learn so much more about what’s right and what’s wrong by watching you guys . Thanks again
I watch this video a lot. It’s nice seeing what parts of the pack remain consistent across the crew and what parts change
I went with the long version first. Paul, it's great to see you. A cyber handshake to "Joe" for soldiering through his segment, & a special thanks to Paul for helping him out, just enough, when needed.
One thing I would note, being Seniors, my better half and I share a 3-Day Bag, so some items in the kit are doubled up so we'll both have the gear needed, 2 ponchos, 2 E bags and so on. Food and water are twice what a solo bag would contain (we use freeze drieds to save on weight).
Great point though that these are an everday kit, to get you through a catastrophe, not bug outs or SHTF bags, more GHBs than anything else.
A Compass, in case the need to hoof it is there, and a map of your area. I never trust my memory of the terrain or routes.
Great Video Paul and Roy. Roy, you're doing a fantastic job of stepping into a very big pair of boots to fill.
Paul, heck of a job fighting your illness, you're in our daily prayers always.
Roy, spot on, getting a Tech HAM license takes a day, and is well worth the time spent.
Paul, you look great!!!
Paul, I love you and the knowledge you've imparted to me since 2012 when I discovered your channel. God speed man. My mom had pancreatic cancer. It wasn't caught and she was gone in 2 weeks. There will never be another like you and your Shatneresque pauses. When I first heard you say that, I laughed for 5 minutes.
Nothing beats a weekend with the Harrell "crew"
Very informative. I also watched the short version. I am in the process of setting up a bag for each vehicle in my household. Y'all have given me some good ideas. Something Paul mentioned concerning personal health and abilities. Me being 66 and a little beaten up with age and experience: NAVY, Army National Guard, police, firefighter, EMT, Nurse. A lot of experience in life can damage the body but I would do it again if I could. Also 2 weeks out of having some throat surgery. You have to be realistic about what you can and can't do so plan and pack accordingly. Again, thank you all for the information and education.
Kudos to 'Bob' for having some sentimental and sanity items.
I'm glad to see the multiple perspectives in each member's packs. It could've easily wound up as a bunch of guys in their 40s/50s with ALICE packs. Saw some ideas that hadn't occurred to me, and I do a lot of thinking and planning when it comes to gear. Thanks for the presentation, gentlemen.
Thank you Paul for your service to our country and all of us watching your videos.
God bless our armed forces.🇺🇲remember our fallen troops.🙏🏻
Just when I thought I couldn't love Paul anymore, he goes and brings out some of his friends.
Bob needs to be a regular on the show. I want to see him dig a fox hole with that modular shovel.
who's digging foxholes for a 3 day exercise ?
more likely to fry an egg with it
then dig a hole to hide his turd :-P
Trench warfare with paul harrell would be terrible.
For the enemy.

✴Paul's first video on 3-Day Survival Packs, the 2019 Thanksgiving Special at the 40 minute mark: ua-cam.com/video/CRoXZkyWx8A/v-deo.html
I like the section where you talked about having an AM/FM radio. I have a NOAA emergency ather radio and I used a label maker and printed the station channel of my region's 24-hour news station. So in the event of an emergency, i can quickly tune to the news station channel.
One of the best things to have in my opinion is a decent hand saw....Silky or knockoff...so much easier to cut wood... So great so see Paul and hear what he says on this important subject of what to have in the pack!!!.....enjoyed the variety of what others are keeping in their packs, and I picked up several tidbits.
“Small enough to fit in your Miata.” I feel called out. Granted, he’s right.
I'm in an MR2 and I completely understand.
323 GTX here.
Dont be that guy.. or 💁🏼♂️
I'm now looking at bags that can fit in my NA
@@channelmachinebroke9638 There used to be a few companies that offered them. Now the only one I can think of sells via Moss Miata.
Nice kit Paul! And your 100% correct about "Not worth a dam if you can't heft it or don't have it with you!" I do keep a large and cumbersome (35-40 pound) back pack with all the good stuff but, it's only good if I have reliable transportation (my 4x4 pick-up), I have a detailed video of this bag on my channel. I used to be able to hump it around for hours at a time with little to no issues but I'm getting old now so I have made a few smaller kit's that are under 10-20 pound's.
One way to lighten up your bag (and enable use of smaller bag's) is to use Life-boat food! You can get 1, 2 or 3 days worth of calories in a small light-weight cube of shelf stable ration-bars! I have 1 of the 2500 calorie cube's and about 8 or 10 of the single 400 calorie bars in my medium size survival kit, a combo "fannie-pack" style and super light duty back-pack with a quite comfortable suspender's set-up, unless I want to add some bottled water the whole thing is way under 20 pound's! I keep this kit and some basic hand tools in my personal vehicle with a lot of bottled water however, the area I live in has an abundance of natural available water and yearly rainfall.
One suggestion I'd give to everyone is to keep a radio and recharging ability (small solar & rechargeable batteries or power-bank) in a Faraday-Cage or Faraday-Bag in case of the ever lingering EMP attack or a burst of coronal energy from the sun, I've found $20 bag's on Amazon that hold quite a bit of stuff for just such an emergency. An old-fashioned analog cell-phone might work but the net-work and towers will be toast for a long time in this scenario, the government and many large corporations have "Hardened" gear but not everyone will be ready for the trouble of this type of event.
Well look at this, what a treat. Thanks fellas
This was a really great video for many reasons. 1 Paul was in it. 2 I really like how the age group is broken up within the "Crew". 3. Both of the young men had (and were proud to have) certain items that Paul gave them. 4. Its cool to see the older dudes mentoring and teaching the younger dudes. 4. Its almost like you guys started your own type of Scout Troop that knows no age limit. Good stuff guys!
"... Femenine hygiene products" *pause* "smoked oysters..." Made me laugh more than it should have
Sounds fishy
I think we’re all 12 year olds at heart!
Great to see Paul.
I carry a small "essential" bag with me always, in my "3 day" emergency grab bag (which is set up for the Southwest US) I also throw in a couple of empty draw string bags. They don't take up much space or weight, but give you the option to pick up things along you way if you need to, say you come across a case of bottled water, you can throw some bottles in a string bag and hang in on your main pack, etc.
Love this! Thanks guys! Praying for you Paul!
I like "Bob's" navigation kit! So few of us can navigate by the stars and even tell direction without a compass. The sextant and watch are essential for that. The rangefinder is great, I did not know they sold replicas of those.
Paul great to see you brother
I used the business computer to watch paul videos as I was finishing up repairs after hours one night but forgot to close the tab. When I came in the next day all the guys in the shop were watching his videos. They were like... this guy is awesome. The best part is none of them are firearms enthusiasts.
Paul: I pray you get well.
Two things that I carry in my pack for my area that might interest you and other viewers is a registered PLB and a compact set of aerial flares. Where I go hunting in my state of Florida there is zero cell phone coverage. Water and means to signal for help are the two most important survival items. You need water more than food and to signal to get out of your situation. I have legal side arm and long gun as well as the items you all mentioned.
Great tutorial guys!
No offense to anyone, but it is so good to see and hear from Paul today……. It looks like he is doing very well…. Thank goodness. Best wishes.
Nice job Bob! I appreciate you putting yourself “out there” for us to learn from.
Ah, I didn't even have to wait for the long version after finishing the short version. Thanks again, Paul and Roy.
59:07 Space blanket refers to the blankets sent into space on the Apollo missions as they were required to shut down all the computers to save power which made the space ship cold. With every gram going into space mattering, in comes the "space blanket" which also insulates EMI and can be used to shield wires or shield electronics from EMI/EMF.
Paul is looking better. Love seeing him back.
I dig John's Jone's cap. If you've never had one, you don't know what a perfect headgear they are...in my opinion.
Super helpful video by the way. It's still in prgress but it will be one of those that we go back to again and again.
Thanks. Great to see Paul as well as so many of your group.
That radio/flashlight do-hickey is just what I’ve been missing. Thank you muchly for the recommendation, I ordered one right away.
i noticed they are made with a chemical known to cause harmful reactions xD seems a bit unwise for a battery device that will need maintenance to perform properly, you can't just leave it in the box til you need it
One thing I didn't see (and rarely do) that I try to carry is Visene or a similar eye drop. Very nice to have!
Great to see you Paul !!!!
So good to see Paul hanging in there. I've had my Ham radio General license for a few years now. And yes you need one to operate on most of the ham radio bands/ frequencies... but I would like to point out, in a true emergency situation you do not need a licenses, that was actually a test question when I went to get my license. If you are in a real emergency ... you can use ANY ham radio equipment including the HF bands to get help and you will not face legal trouble as a result.
Hey guys! Greetings from Ukraine!
In my bag I have some stuff that I does not seen in yours so I'll try to remember all of stuff and write it here (without checking)/
So it's good bag 5.11 brand, and first of all it's med kit. It have 2 tourniquets, 2 bandages (israel kind: 1 small and 1 normal), chest seal and some other stuff.
First of all it's firemaple/jetboil cooking tool. Because it's really crucial to have access to warm food/drinks.
Sleeping.... I have really lightweight sleeping bag that good for summer, but in cold weather it will be nice to have instead of nothing.
I had interesting variant of bundeswehr sleeping mat with additional holdings on my belt so I always can seat on "warm" mat. Or if I need to sleep I will have good shielding from ground.
I have nice system for water clearing but in the same time I have pack of pills for water.
Also I had sprays against insects but... I also do have kind of net-mask against them..
2 pairs of glows, 2-3 knives, some nuts or sublimates, and at least 2x1.5 bottles 1.5 liters of water.
Multitul, some medicaments just to be sure.
2-3 knives, set for fixing clothes, 2 compases, some map of locations agound in paper... some balistol as CLP.
And it's strange.. but I does not saw any radiostation...
I have 2 baofengs with am/fm on board, also I have 3 batterers for that crap... But we can get connection away without issues.
Still good to see you Paul. Now being I am originally from Austin, Texas (Don’t live there now) I did not carry a 3 day emergency kit that was because my daily needs as a RNA/former Pinkerton always changed especially when I had to travel form job site to job site. Did my best to keep a cb radio, or police ban radio if job site required (air field required), a first aid kit with BP cuff, stethoscope and road side assistance kit, and money as I’d need it if I had to hike a 140 miles during the summer. And I did 50 once. That was my 3 day emergency kit if you’d call it that. As if I was hiking for whatever, reason I’d pick up and drop what I’d need as I needed it along the way.
Good to see the Harrell's together Paul. a 3-day survival pack... Much like my #2 field pack I carried in the Army for decades. Gotta have your Poggi-Bait. ^~^
I love seeing fellow old soldiers (bronies) in the comments.
