I own a place way out in the middle of nowhere in Texas. I use that place for getting away from civilization, hunting, weapons training / practice. Walking around my place one evening, I see a man slinking through the brush. He does not see me. I took cover behind a tree. He is making his way towards my cabin. When he is in a small clearing, I said "HALT". He jumps, looks around, and can't figure where I am. I asked "Can I help you". A long pause, no answer. "You are trespassing." He lit out towards my front gate. I saw him hop the gate and head down the road. A bit later I heard a truck start and depart down the dirt road at a high speed. I had a single action Ruger 45LC on my hip. I now carry my AR-15 16" barrel rifle around when walking. What was he going to do? Rob the cabin? Probably. Things can get weird anywhere, anytime. Paul is right. Carry a handgun that can defend you.
The Glock model 29 chambered in 10mm is an excellent choice for a remote area because it's as light and compact as a standard 9mm carry sized gun but shoots a round powerful enough to stop a bear. You never know what you might run into out there whether it be a bad guy or a predator like a bear or a cougar. My favorite round for personal defense is Double Tap 135 gr. Hollow points. For predator protection 220 gr. Buffalo Bore hardcast lead will destroy pine 4x4 boards with ease.
Today’s meat target is a different from normal. It has one thick layer of flannel shirt on the front and back, seven layers of skin, man-boobs to simulate pork chops, flimsy ribs on the front and back, and is backed up by the new and improved 1997 Toyota Tacoma bullet stop.
Paul's anecdotes are my favorite part of the channel, and I love everything on this channel so that's saying something. It's the best gun channel on UA-cam. Paul, give us your anecdotes!
Please paul, you are a good talker and (Almost) never Boring. It sounds way to interresting, but if its stories that you dont want to talk about, thats OK to (Almost) everybody.
whatbuttondoipush you’re off by at least one order of magnitude. I’m sure it’d be more like a couple of thousand if not a couple of ten thousand viewers.
@@alexcarter8807 Well, sort of. If you've got good shot placement, it'll still be lethal, and generally you'll be firing down at a jackrabbit, so the bullets will simply impact in the ground and generally stop after a very short distance, even if they hit a root or rock therein and ricochet. If you find yourself shooting laterally or upward at jackrabbits, you're either doing it wrong or you are having a very bad day.
Goes to Middle East in line of duty, nothing of interest happens Hangs out in the backwoods of the northwest, can’t avoid troublemakers and ne’er-do-wells
Public lands seem to attract psychos. I guess many lands are far enough away from civilization they think they can get away with shit. I pointed that out to a female coworker who liked to go hiking. She didn't appreciate it.
@@scockery The woods can be pretty wild and wooly not that far from civilization, maybe an hour's drive. In the late '70s I worked for one of the National Forests in California. Energy costs had gone up thanks to PG&E antics and and unemployment was really high. There had been a boom in "poaching" firewood. Now, at least back then, it was no big deal to cut wood in the forest. You stopped at the District Ranger Station, explained your intentions, and bought a pretty inexpensive permit. Then, as long as you didn't start taking down anything bigger than six inches or so, you could cut a quite a lot. They are still pretty cheap compared to buying cord wood commercially. Things became surreal out there with cord wood "pirates" simply picking a spot with trees they liked and starting to cut. There several sections (the 640-acre kind) where black oaks were completely wiped out. As the preferred wood became scarcer, the wood cutters started going armed, and would shoot at each other, passing Forest Service vehicles. and just about any thing they thought might interfere with their freedom to take whatever they wanted. As things became clearer, most of these guys were not there for cord wood for their use. They were out to haul away as much as they could for a profit. We were stopped by a badged ranger and told to report any cutting we saw but not to interact in any way. The day before, to entrepreneurs had gotten into a shootout and one had been wounded. The other guy was still at large and apparently cutting wood. Later we had to watch out for booby traps and armed guards around pot plantations, and not being "badged" employees, mere "seasonals," we were not allowed to carry on the job. Probably anyone that has worked in the woods has stories.
@@scockery Years ago when there were bookstores to look around in, I came across a book by a guy who was a ranger for a few years, dunno what happened to him to make him quit in the end but it was a phantasmagoria of meth-heads, crazies, psychos, petty and not so petty thieves, etc.
@@theeddorian My deer lease is on Weyerhaeuser Timberland on the Cossattott River in south Arkansas. The meth heads are always trespassing on our lease searching for Native American artifacts. No matter what time of year it is, we are always armed when we go to the lease. They trade the artifacts for more drugs, and can get a little agressive when you confront them.
Definitely. I would love to hear an incident in which he used deadly force from his own point of view. Is he not legally able to or is it a UA-cam thing?
Back when I was 18 I used to go to an observatory at night to look at the stars, nebulae, galaxies etc. It was a ways out of town and up a winding mountain road. One night i came upon a car stopped with the hazards on. Being a pretty good mechanic, i had a habit of helping people with car trouble so I was already focused on that when I stopped and got out. It was at that point I noticed some debris had clearly been drug into the road to block the on-comming lane with the "broke down car" blocking my lane. It would be nearly impossible for me to turn around on that narrow mountain road. A lady steps out of the drivers side of the car and I ask if she needs help. Right then a man comes out of the treeline above the road to my left. He looks at me, his expression changed from somewhat menacing to sorta neutral. "Naw man, we're okay." He gets in the car and pulls it forward so I can drive around. Now, they may have just been cutting brush, in the dark, using a small car. Or they were setting a trap for someone and i wasn't on the menu. But I never forgot the way he startled me and particularly the facial expression he had when i first saw him, before it changed. There were no cell phones in those days and no pay phones on that long dark road either. When i came back down the mountain later, they were gone, the brush was on the side of the road. I got chills as I passed by.
Actually. As a huge Harrell fan i'd disagree. I think his candor lends itself to content video format as opposed to streaming. However, i'd love to see him as a guest a couple of times! 😊
@@OutdoorsWithChad Chad, I just recently discovered Paul's videos a few days ago and some people are just discovering them today. I didn't immediately know all the classic Paul Harrell catchphrases or scroll through every comment section to see what everyone was saying. Don't always assume everyone is privy to the information you have. Everyone needs some time to figure things out. Cheers.
Or says, "Please bear with me if I repeat myself. I'm now going to shoot my Remington green &white box 9×19 P++ and see what it does to the meat target you've just presented.
SoniphexTrapMusic my only gripe about M9’s were the absolute dog crap mags we had in the Army. I got very good at hasty mag changes, so I guess it wasn’t entirely worthless. I love my Inox 92FS. Probably my favorite pistol, or a close tie with my HK P7.
Man I swear I could listen to Paul Harrel’s glorious anecdotes all day and still want more. If you’re listening Mr. Harrel please know how much we love and respect your anecdotes.
@@SuperSaltydog77 Actually, 1,000 is too much for me. I prefer an M60 with 63 + 1 rounds. That 105 has been fairly effective at anything I pointed it at, but now as a PFC in the 1st CivDiv, the holster can be a bit cumbersome.
See, folks, that right there is the mark of an adult: understanding that defusing or departing from a potential confrontation is the best choice. No braggadocio.
@@coolguy2475 a lot of really good deer rounds need faster, 1/8 is a good twist, 1/9 if you're only using up to 69gr lead core ammo, you dont loose much practical accuracy going faster on the twist, but you do lose a lot of practical accuraccy by going too slow. Also 1/12 twist barrels aren't nearly as common as 1/8 and 1/7 barrels are, and usually are more expensive for either being a "clone" barrel, or a target barrel that takes advantage of the the slight increase in accuracy for varmint/bench shooting where you're only using light bullets and are trying to squeeze the maximal amount of accuracy form then.
@Rocky Dog it's not "indoctrination," it's using what you're practiced at, as Paul has said every time. He's quite clear that the primary reason he uses them is because he is extremely familiar with and skilled at their use.
the guy in the truck story reminded me why I switched from concealed carry to open carrying the biggest pistol in my collection when the pandemic stuff started and everyone was going nuts: to remind people to stay polite.
Had virtually the same experience in the San Isabel national forest. When I turned the individual could see in addition to a day pack I was wearing a shoulder holstered 1911. He became much more interested in wishing me well than finding out what I was doing.
Lesson I learned long ago hunting deer on state land. Yeah I might be deer hunting with a shotgun and with the loads used have been known to be top notch fir defense. But when somebody is messing with you their eyes are glued to that long gun, they don't notice the 4" 357 coming out of the jacket pocket and going to a low ready. Me being right handed and preffering it to shoot I screw with alot of people that may not know me well enough, they think I'm left handed until I shoot because I've taught myself through instinct to always carry my long gun by the receiver in my left hand incase I need to get to my pistol. Never liked slinging a rifle or shotgun, seems like every time you see something worth shooting the guns in an impossible place to get to it without being noticed.
I appreciate a gun channel that talks about the validity of a good old 10/22 and Beretta 92 and not some high end custom piece that may be out of reach of the average gun owner.
I use the .375 H&H with my Glock 27 in .40 S&W and Ruger 10/22 Charger in my backpack I call it the “kill any living thing on Earth hunting combo”. Lol.
Sure would fix a lot of issues, wouldn't it? Suprising how fast people will change their tune when presented with force, verbal, physical or otherwise.
The fact that you can go on for hours about anecdotes regarding encounters with other humans where you were happy you had a gun makes me curious why you have hours worth of anecdotes about that. I guess i’m lucky with all the hunting and hiking and general outdoors stuff I do that I’ve never had any situations like that. Keep up the good videos!
Paul and Forgotten Weapons get the Thumbs Up from me before the video has finished loading. I get so involved in the content I forget sometimes to do it after.
Ill make a long story short, I was camping in the mountains next to a stream in a canyon with a young lady this was some years ago at a place I was familiar with . When I heard a car door slam up the hill a little ways. Two men came toward my camp yelling that I was trespassing , at least one of them was carrying what looked like a shotgun. Well as the men approach to about 30 yards and within eye sight I yelled back to hold it right the he’ll their and put my hand on my dads 38 police special . I told them this was national forest land and to stop right there and by the way my grandpas 30-30 was in arms reach. The two men stopped and said they were just kidding and turned and got out of there. Always go armed.
Over the years I've somehow gotten the idea that Colt was the first company to jump on with this concept, chambering their SAA (Originally in .45 Colt) for the .44-40, in order to be able to use the same ammo as the '73 Winchester rifle. So this idea has been around since before smokeless powder. Some ideas stand the test of time, it seems. Another great video, Paul!
For anyone asking to hear all his anecdotes, you have to realise two things: 1. That's not the kind of thing he does 2. These things happen (I figure) less frequently than how "often" he tells us about them, therefore if we knew all of them, there'd be nothing "new" left
Also, he clearly prefers to deliver his anecdotes within a relevant context to illustrate a point, as opposed to simply telling them to flaunt badassery. And that is why he's awesome.
That's a great answer isn't it? It's an answer but also a non-answer. Too many people readily talk to strangers, giving up info that is no one else's business. Paul's stubborn methodology is a good thing to emulate....
I just found you about 7 months ago. I love your humor and appreciate your willingness to share the knowledge you have accrued in your life. Keep the information coming. Just so you know, I am never bored, I never skip to the chart, you have increased my appreciation of online content. i
I continue to be amazed at the array of items (guns, ammo,and what all) that he pulls out of the pockets of that jacket. I seriously wonder if there are pocket dimensions in it.
Paul, I need to speak to you. Any time you say, " I could bore you for hours with anecdotes," DO SO. Not one avid viewer of your videos would mind. Just now, when I saw you had a new video up, I poured myself a glass of whiskey to enjoy this video with. ESPECIALLY with these isolating and trying times, I implore you to "bore me" with anecdotes. Sincerely, your fanbase.
Great post and thanks for the great idea. I already finished the video but I deem it's not too late to go pour a rocks glass full of rye. After all, there are hundreds more PH videos and I haven't seen ALL of them...yet.
i back my 10 22 with a 45 acp and i back my Remington 700 bolt gun in 308 deer rifle with a 380 acp and 12 gauge with single six 22 lr , great video Mr Paul
@@arnox4554 I remember in junior high gym class we had a boxing segment. My first boxing match ever was with a super nerdy little pencil neck geek and I thought "I'm going to take this kid out with severe prejedice. No problem" This little guy was incredibly scrappy and wiry and had terrific stamina. We pounded out the whole segment into pretty much a draw in which I was completely exhausted and glad the fight was over. I learned to not call a random kid a "pencil neck geek", even in my own mind. And do NOT underestimate someone you have never seen fight.
Parl seriously, I would buy a PH action figure if you had one. The mini meat target idea is also very cool! Maybe a pull string that says " Remington Green and white box......and so forth
Green and white box 155gr round nose full metal jacket 357magnum +p combined with the mossberg 500, 20" barrel shooging remington green and yellow box 12 gauge, 1 1/2 oz of #4 buckshot with flight control cup. The meat target is pork chop pectorals, pork ribs, grape fruit lung tissue, pork ribs on the back and leather jacket skin and the new and improved hi tech fleece bullet stop.
@@vdog4799 Don't forget "I'm what you call a professional. Do not try this at home.", "Wilberforce, GET HELP!", "Looks OK to me", and "You bee the judge".
I have been in serious danger from animals only twice while enjoying the great outdoors. Both of those animals were two-legged. One was while at a fishing camp at 4:00 a.m. and the other was while hunting when a couple of guys wanted my antique Rolling Block. Having a handgun saved me both times.
"Let me tell you an anecdote" Me: ooh, this is gonna be good! I would totally watch an hour plus long video of nothing but Paul telling anecdotes and the lessons he took away from them.
Paul, please consider this. I would also like a video directed towards the daughters many of us have. I’ve already lost one daughter and don’t want anymore, and I don’t want anyone else to go through this. I believe Paul can make a great informational video for self protection and awareness. Many young ladies are oblivious to their surroundings and naive about the crazies in the world. These anecdotes can be pure gold. Please think about it and maybe bring in a lady to demonstrate how to be aware and prepared. Not all women are attacked with guns, my oldest daughter was stabbed while at work during a robbery at noon. I don’t think she was aware that a 21yo would be hiding a knife in his sleeve. Some people would say I should’ve bought her a gun,..I did and she wanted nothing to do with it and would never have carried it. The younger generation are brainwashed at school to think guns are only for murderers rather than tools of protection. Besides, a gun would not have helped her in that situation unless she was very observant of her surroundings. You can’t see danger coming if you are not watching for it. So... dads like me,.. . really want a good, (non-political) video that all of our daughters can watch (often forced to watch) for their own well being. My middle daughter loves the outdoors and camping and doesn’t think that she needs to carry her gun because the rabbits won’t attack her, not thinking about your store of the man ‘up to no good’ possibly on the same hiking trail that day. P.S. to get political for a moment.. she as stabbed by a 21yo whom as just released from jail on a PR bond, meaning no money bond, after the second or third time he stole a car, and had couple of drug/alcohol dui records and previously a Sex offender , yet released because of a democratic governor’s new law and now will also not be subject to death penalty also because of democrat governor. Our governor also decriminalized small amounts of meth,heroine, and some others. I think a lot more crazies are on the way. And to all the fathers out there, please take care of your daughters and teach the to protect themselves. Thank you.
So about eight years ago, myself, my two brothers and father drew out for archery deer. In the state that we live in, if you have a concealed weapons permit, you can carry a handgun while archery hunting, and since none of us had one, we only had bows. So we had a fairly successful hunt, but there was a moment when we were hunting a spot that we perceived as pretty far from anything, and we were for the most part alone in the woods. Well, when we came out of the area and moved on, my older brother who was 17 at the time, told my father that he'd seen people moving around, not wearing camo, not carrying bows, etc. it wasn't maybe a week later, that we were at the local gun shop and there was a big hubbub, turns out that the area that we were hunting was a "farm" where some less than reputable people were growing some less than legal substances, and they shot and killed someone who was hunting in the area. Anymore, I don't walk away from the truck without at least a reload for my rifle and one for my handgun.
I, too, like rifle/pistol combos. .22 short Remington gallery gun with Astra Cub in .22 Short; Ruger MkIs and IIs to go with the 10-22s; High Standard Sentinel revolver with Marlin 60; .327 Federal Single Sevens and a Marlin 1894CB in .327 (thank you Ranger Point Precision); Ruger Blackhawk and Rossi 92 in .357; Super Blackhawk and assorted other .44s and Rossi 92 in .44; 1911 pistol and M1 Garand; 1917 S&W and Springfield rifle; Walther P38 and K98 Mauser; Browning Hi-Power and Enfield #1 MkIII. A Uberti Stallion Target in .22 with a pre-Henry Iver Johnson lever action. This one has the magnum cylinder, so we are currently searching for a .22 magnum rifle, of the lever action variety, probably a Henry as Marlin and Winchesters are priced out of range. Be careful. A guy could get carried away with this whole concept...
Paul, I do the same when deer hunting. Hunt with my Savage rifle in .308 backed up with a CZ P 07 in 9mm for basically same reasons you spoke about. Paul make that 2 hour anecdote video your subscribers would enjoy listening to your wisdom.
I had the same experience horse back on a back road, a fellow in a van was hostile drunk and I must have taken his manhood away on my horse, he rode slowly beside me doing everything he could to provoke a fight, I pick an open spot in the woods and simply rode away from him. Sitting in my jacket pocket was a Copy lawman MK III Sub nose. He never saw it, but it was there. P/S a zombie big foot is a Zasquach, Cheers!
I have always wanted Savage to bring back the model 24 Camper 22lr over 20 gauge. None of the current Savage or Chiappa combo guns satisfy me that well. That would be a brilliant "if it makes gravy shoot it" gun.
I have four rifle/handgun combos now. #1 Ruger 10/22 and Ruger Mk IV both in 22 LR, #2 Marlin 1894 and S&W Model 60 both in 357 Magnum, #3 Ruger 44 Carbine and Ruger Super Blackhawk both in 44 Magnum and #4 Big Horn Armory Model 89 and S&W Model 500 both in 500 S&W Magnum. Good for anything except long range in my combos.
Please! Make a video titled: "Boring you for a couple of hours with anecdotes". We demand it!!! Paul, you're the best storyteller in the history of the art!
Paul I was up on 5427 at a pond with family. I was in water getting gold fish... I left my pistol in the truck. We had a guy drive up to my wife and kids. He approach my wife and kids. He didn’t see me and I was with out my pistol in the truck.... I was able to talk with him which he didn’t see me and drive off. When he drove up to my wife he ask my wife if she was alone how long she been here etc... very spooky way looking around etc.. I never again won’t have my pistol on my person. Great thing is my wife starting practicing with her pistol again that day!!!
Technically the M16 was first issued in 1964. 56 years ago. It is currently eligible for C&R status. So if you don't like the word antiquated how about "relic?"
@@GunFunZS The same rifle is used today only with more rails and furniture. Some would say that 1911s were too old in Vietnam but they are still in use today. 60 years later. If anything the m4 pattern carbine is an inferior rifle in many ways to the 20 inch A2 and A1 patterns.
The FN Five-seveN - for those occasional jackrabbits that you find sitting just outside the range of your 20g shotgun, while also wearing LVL III body armor...
If anyone is interested in putting peep sights on a 10/22, tech sights are a great option to go with, however if you don't have a sturdy vice you're going to have trouble getting the front sight out.
I just know that after you shot that soda bottle up close with the 357 Magnum, that as soon as the shot was over you dropped the deadpan and laughed your butt off.
9:45 I've ran into a similar situation hiking in the woods by myself unarmed! It's a very scary situation and I could have gotten murdered! Most people you meet on trails are generally nice and decent people, but you got a few trouble makers that think they own the public land and are looking for nothing but trouble... This is why I'm getting my CCW permit.
One day, it was too muddy to hike, so I was walking home, and some small, yappy dog runs up to me aggressively barking while the owner watched... Eventho I used animal psychology to make it back down, I still had my hand on my gun the entire time. Looking back tho... i guess i should have just shot it & put it on my application to the ATF ?

Whatever you do, don't hunt those bastards with target type .22 rounds. Use hollow points. Solid points will zip right through and it's just not good.

@@scockery Years ago when there were bookstores to look around in, I came across a book by a guy who was a ranger for a few years, dunno what happened to him to make him quit in the end but it was a phantasmagoria of meth-heads, crazies, psychos, petty and not so petty thieves, etc.
@@theeddorian My deer lease is on Weyerhaeuser Timberland on the Cossattott River in south Arkansas. The meth heads are always trespassing on our lease searching for Native American artifacts. No matter what time of year it is, we are always armed when we go to the lease. They trade the artifacts for more drugs, and can get a little agressive when you confront them.
I actually want to hear hours of Paul's anecdotes, I guarentee I wouldn't be bored
Yes, Paul is such a tease!
Seriously! Paul Harrell active self defense stories!? Yes please!
Agree 100%
Agreed
Definitely. I would love to hear an incident in which he used deadly force from his own point of view. Is he not legally able to or is it a UA-cam thing?
*_"When I'm hunting really serious big game, like jackrabbits."_*
Lost it.
Then only a .45-70 loaded with Garrett slugs will do.
@@exothermal.sprocket no .50 Alaskan is the bare minimum
It ranks right up there with, "watching the submarine races". Lol
Back when I was 18 I used to go to an observatory at night to look at the stars, nebulae, galaxies etc.
It was a ways out of town and up a winding mountain road.
One night i came upon a car stopped with the hazards on.
Being a pretty good mechanic, i had a habit of helping people with car trouble so I was already focused on that when I stopped and got out.
It was at that point I noticed some debris had clearly been drug into the road to block the on-comming lane with the "broke down car" blocking my lane.
It would be nearly impossible for me to turn around on that narrow mountain road.
A lady steps out of the drivers side of the car and I ask if she needs help.
Right then a man comes out of the treeline above the road to my left.
He looks at me, his expression changed from somewhat menacing to sorta neutral.
"Naw man, we're okay."
He gets in the car and pulls it forward so I can drive around.
Now, they may have just been cutting brush, in the dark, using a small car.
Or they were setting a trap for someone and i wasn't on the menu.
But I never forgot the way he startled me and particularly the facial expression he had when i first saw him, before it changed.
There were no cell phones in those days and no pay phones on that long dark road either.
When i came back down the mountain later, they were gone, the brush was on the side of the road.
I got chills as I passed by.
So did you have a gun on you or what bro
I love how a man as meticulous and straight forward as Paul still used duct tape to attach a peep sight.
Shimmed, not attached with duct tape
It`s called jerry rigged then if it`s not broke don`t fix it.
I actually burst out laughing. Shot a pretty good group though so i cant knock it too hard
He didn’t even trim the duct tape either.
Duct tape, the handyman's secret weapon. " Red Green ".
Imagine if Paul made a podcast of all of his “long, boring talks”. That would be amazing.
_Grabs popcorn._
Agreed!
Yes, a Paul Harrell podcast would be spectacular.
Outland, I hope you got some soda jugs to go with that popcorn.
Actually. As a huge Harrell fan i'd disagree. I think his candor lends itself to content video format as opposed to streaming. However, i'd love to see him as a guest a couple of times! 😊
The “Jim’s Ex-Wife” Target comment caught me off guard lol
He had a cave troll!
I’ve seen that lady out in the woods before.
She's actually my buddy Joe's ex-wife.
So, how is her cooking?
I got a good laugh out of that one.
Paul’s humour is too subtle for most people to grasp, especially when coupled to his poker face 😊
Not judging from the comments.
whatever you need to do to make yourself feel special, buddy.
Paul: "I could bore you for a couple of hours with anecdotes like that."
Me: ::Eyes get big, hoping for a 2 hour Paul Harrell anecdote video::
How original. There's a comment like this on pretty much every single one of his videos. Its getting old at this point
@@OutdoorsWithChad Chad, I just recently discovered Paul's videos a few days ago and some people are just discovering them today. I didn't immediately know all the classic Paul Harrell catchphrases or scroll through every comment section to see what everyone was saying. Don't always assume everyone is privy to the information you have. Everyone needs some time to figure things out. Cheers.
"Chad" is the male variant of "Karen" in today's vernacular..... JUST SAYIN
*I would enjoy seeing a 2 hour long anecdotes video myself...anyone agree? You be the Judge.*
Somebody drives up to Paul Harrell walking and says “What are you doing?” Paul responds with “Wondering if you feel lucky punk!”
Rick Pineo ROTFLMAO
‘Hey mista, what ya don’?’ Oh it’s you Paul, have a happy day, Sir! 👌👐🖖
Or says, "Please bear with me if I repeat myself. I'm now going to shoot my Remington green &white box 9×19 P++ and see what it does to the meat target you've just presented.
Paul wouldn’t threaten anyone with a statement needing an exclamation point. It would be in the same tone and tempo that he orders breakfast.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Paul, you make some of the best firearms content on the internet. Not youtube, the Internet. Don't forget that, and thanks awfully for it.
He provides a college level firearms education for free.
I can't express how deeply I wish these guys would move their content OFF of UA-cam, so that I could support a different internet eco-system.
Once you see Paul's left hand come up like a handshake gesture, its game over.
On the topic of Paul’s 10/22 rear peep sight: “If it looks stupid but it works, it‘s not stupid.”
Best use I've ever heard for duct tape..
Paul you are the best no nonsense/common sense, informative gun channel on UA-cam. Thanks and keep it up.
I'll second that. I've learned 10x more here than from the other 5 channels I follow.
After finding Paul, I'm not looking for any other channels and the ones I followed prior to now seem lackluster or total clickbait.
I'd have been incredibly shocked if his top combo was anything other than the A1 & 92.
I would complain about spoilers but
A. I looked
B. You're right
As soon as I saw the title I knew a 92 would be in the #1 spot
I don't care what anyone says about it, I love it.
SoniphexTrapMusic my only gripe about M9’s were the absolute dog crap mags we had in the Army. I got very good at hasty mag changes, so I guess it wasn’t entirely worthless. I love my Inox 92FS. Probably my favorite pistol, or a close tie with my HK P7.
M1A and 44 so I’m not traveling to far cause both of them are heavy big and I’m a little skinny aw ?
Way to spoil the ending bruva!
I want to see an "all anecdotes" episode.
Or an anecdotes series. "Storytime with Uncle Paul"
A live stream would make a great format for that event!
He has to be sitting on a nice chair in front of a fireplace.
Google User with a cup of coffee
Man I swear I could listen to Paul Harrel’s glorious anecdotes all day and still want more. If you’re listening Mr. Harrel please know how much we love and respect your anecdotes.
Paul: I could bore you for hours with anecdotes like this
Me: You falsely assume I am bored. Please, continue!
Yes... There are about 100 comments saying exactly the same lol
Yeah, quit threatening us with a good time !!!
Per youtube and ATF guidelines he’s not allowed to tell us his actual favorite combo. The M134 Minigun and a M79 Thumper
Unless he's hunting really big game like jackrabbits.
They are always on those "Pockets of Holding" I would bet
Shall. Not. Be. Infringed. 👍
An M60 with at least 1,000 rounds.
@@SuperSaltydog77 Actually, 1,000 is too much for me. I prefer an M60 with 63 + 1 rounds. That 105 has been fairly effective at anything I pointed it at, but now as a PFC in the 1st CivDiv, the holster can be a bit cumbersome.
Paul: threatens to "bore us for a couple of hours" with his stories
Us: we sit patiently waiting...
See, folks, that right there is the mark of an adult: understanding that defusing or departing from a potential confrontation is the best choice. No braggadocio.
The .357 mag out of the pocket and shooting the soda at point blank just earned you a sub and a bell notification, Sir!!!
Your anecdotes bore nobody. No joke. Thank you for sharing!
That 20-inch AR-15 and Beretta 92FS are a GREAT combo!
yes, though I prefer an AR without a 1:12 twist rate
@@nickkastenholz3252Damn dude shooting tracers and 77gr only?
Must be nice.
@@coolguy2475 a lot of really good deer rounds need faster, 1/8 is a good twist, 1/9 if you're only using up to 69gr lead core ammo, you dont loose much practical accuracy going faster on the twist, but you do lose a lot of practical accuraccy by going too slow. Also 1/12 twist barrels aren't nearly as common as 1/8 and 1/7 barrels are, and usually are more expensive for either being a "clone" barrel, or a target barrel that takes advantage of the the slight increase in accuracy for varmint/bench shooting where you're only using light bullets and are trying to squeeze the maximal amount of accuracy form then.
@Rocky Dog it's not "indoctrination," it's using what you're practiced at, as Paul has said every time. He's quite clear that the primary reason he uses them is because he is extremely familiar with and skilled at their use.
That's my combo. Aero Precision M16A4 clone and a Beretta M9A1.
When Paul tells you he's minding his own business in that "Paul tone of voice", you better be packing a change of shorts.
Twenty 1shot magazines? That explains why Paul's reloading technique is so smooth! Ha.
LOL. I see what you did there.
Hi, dad.
Paul Herrel is AMAZING !
the guy in the truck story reminded me why I switched from concealed carry to open carrying the biggest pistol in my collection when the pandemic stuff started and everyone was going nuts: to remind people to stay polite.
"to remind people to stay polite". Because "an armed society is a polite society." Robert Heinlein
open carry is pretty dumb. it basically screams ‘shoot me first if you want to shoot this place up, you’ll get a free gun too’
Was watching an old Paul Harrell video only to get interrupted by a notification of a new Paul Harrell video. Looks okay to me.
Had virtually the same experience in the San Isabel national forest. When I turned the individual could see in addition to a day pack I was wearing a shoulder holstered 1911. He became much more interested in wishing me well than finding out what I was doing.
Lesson I learned long ago hunting deer on state land. Yeah I might be deer hunting with a shotgun and with the loads used have been known to be top notch fir defense. But when somebody is messing with you their eyes are glued to that long gun, they don't notice the 4" 357 coming out of the jacket pocket and going to a low ready. Me being right handed and preffering it to shoot I screw with alot of people that may not know me well enough, they think I'm left handed until I shoot because I've taught myself through instinct to always carry my long gun by the receiver in my left hand incase I need to get to my pistol. Never liked slinging a rifle or shotgun, seems like every time you see something worth shooting the guns in an impossible place to get to it without being noticed.
Just when I need something to watch! Thank you Paul!
Paul is a legend.
I appreciate a gun channel that talks about the validity of a good old 10/22 and Beretta 92 and not some high end custom piece that may be out of reach of the average gun owner.
Henry lever action in 45-70
Glock 40 in 10mm
The “I’ll kill any living thing on this mountain” hiking combo
you ever try loading a 45/70 with bird shot?
I use the .375 H&H with my Glock 27 in .40 S&W and Ruger 10/22 Charger in my backpack I call it the “kill any living thing on Earth hunting combo”. Lol.
@@johnstacy7902 I have made some loads using fiber wads. The rifling causes very poor patterns.
I missed with my 45/70 once. The wind going by gave the deer pneumonia and he died a week later.
lol
“An armed society is a polite society”
You're god damn right, Sir.
Sure would fix a lot of issues, wouldn't it? Suprising how fast people will change their tune when presented with force, verbal, physical or otherwise.
I think thats Heinlien.
double-edged sword when the non-polite actually follows through on their force, verbal, physical, or otherwise.
Bad people will always be around to do bad things... but in an armed society you eliminate helpless victims.
Paul screaming "NO. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" had me busting a gut over here. 9:47
Same lmfao
I"m taking my time, getting through all your stuff. I appreciate you.
The fact that you can go on for hours about anecdotes regarding encounters with other humans where you were happy you had a gun makes me curious why you have hours worth of anecdotes about that. I guess i’m lucky with all the hunting and hiking and general outdoors stuff I do that I’ve never had any situations like that. Keep up the good videos!
Was browsing through looking for something to watch
Impeccable timing paul
Same
I just discovered this channel and it's one of my favorite fun channels now! Great style and demonstrations!
Welcome. Pretty much every video is great, going back years.
You have a lot of catching up to do!
This is only one of two channels whose videos I like before even watching. And I'm never disappointed.
Paul and Forgotten Weapons get the Thumbs Up from me before the video has finished loading.
I get so involved in the content I forget sometimes to do it after.
Paul u are not boreing Iam always looking forward to hearing them...... love your anecdotes plz keep them comeing
Ill make a long story short, I was camping in the mountains next to a stream in a canyon with a young lady this was some years ago at a place I was familiar with . When I heard a car door slam up the hill a little ways. Two men came toward my camp yelling that I was trespassing , at least one of them was carrying what looked like a shotgun. Well as the men approach to about 30 yards and within eye sight I yelled back to hold it right the he’ll their and put my hand on my dads 38 police special . I told them this was national forest land and to stop right there and by the way my grandpas 30-30 was in arms reach. The two men stopped and said they were just kidding and turned and got out of there. Always go armed.
Man, it's crazy to hear how many people seem to provoke these extremely dangerous situations without much thought.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Looks like Ruger definitely made a winner if the 57 has so quickly become one of Paul's preferred sidearm choices.
I love the ‘let me tell you an anecdote’.
Over the years I've somehow gotten the idea that Colt was the first company to jump on with this concept, chambering their SAA (Originally in .45 Colt) for the .44-40, in order to be able to use the same ammo as the '73 Winchester rifle. So this idea has been around since before smokeless powder. Some ideas stand the test of time, it seems. Another great video, Paul!
Had the privilege of going to the range and helping my first time firearm owning friend. Got home and got to watch this. It's been a good day.
Excellent. Glad you got to do that today. Awesome to help out a new shooter.
Make sure to show your friend Paul's videos.
For anyone asking to hear all his anecdotes, you have to realise two things:
1. That's not the kind of thing he does
2. These things happen (I figure) less frequently than how "often" he tells us about them, therefore if we knew all of them, there'd be nothing "new" left
He could just make shit up and it’d still be worth it.
Also, he clearly prefers to deliver his anecdotes within a relevant context to illustrate a point, as opposed to simply telling them to flaunt badassery. And that is why he's awesome.
As soon as I got to the "1." I started reading it in Paul's voice.
I wonder, as I wander; if he would be willing to tell other peoples' anecdotes?
I don't know about anyone else but I'm waiting for Paul to try and bore with his stories.
Hint: He would lose I wouldn't get bored.
"What I'm doing is minding my own business!"
That's a great answer isn't it? It's an answer but also a non-answer. Too many people readily talk to strangers, giving up info that is no one else's business. Paul's stubborn methodology is a good thing to emulate....
Please, bore us with more anecdotes! Break up the couple of hours into several videos. I'm sure I'm not alone in that request!
You are most definitely not alone.
+1 from me.
we have passed a motion...waiting for paul to respond.
Can't do that...........Gotta keep the Soda and Meat Dept at local grocery store busy. If Paul only tells stories, someone might get laid off.
I just found you about 7 months ago. I love your humor and appreciate your willingness to share the knowledge you have accrued in your life. Keep the information coming. Just so you know, I am never bored, I never skip to the chart, you have increased my appreciation of online content.
i
I continue to be amazed at the array of items (guns, ammo,and what all) that he pulls out of the pockets of that jacket. I seriously wonder if there are pocket dimensions in it.
The pockets: "It's bigger on the inside!" / "Smaller on the outside"
If Paul can be likened to Dr. Who, then his jacket would definitely be his TARDIS!
I could watch a video of Paul just telling his anecdotes
What I like about Paul is that he's really just another guy... yeah, he's been around and has a lot of experience, but he's not pretentious.
Paul, I need to speak to you. Any time you say, " I could bore you for hours with anecdotes," DO SO. Not one avid viewer of your videos would mind. Just now, when I saw you had a new video up, I poured myself a glass of whiskey to enjoy this video with. ESPECIALLY with these isolating and trying times, I implore you to "bore me" with anecdotes. Sincerely, your fanbase.
Great post and thanks for the great idea. I already finished the video but I deem it's not too late to go pour a rocks glass full of rye. After all, there are hundreds more PH videos and I haven't seen ALL of them...yet.
i back my 10 22 with a 45 acp and i back my Remington 700 bolt gun in 308 deer rifle with a 380 acp and 12 gauge with single six 22 lr , great video Mr Paul
Great video Mr. Harrell, thanks for posting!!
Driving up a dirt road looking for an argument and suddenly realising you've picked an armed Paul Harrell and need new underwear lmao
And this is why you never fucking underestimate anybody.
@@arnox4554 I remember in junior high gym class we had a boxing segment. My first boxing match ever was with a super nerdy little pencil neck geek and I thought "I'm going to take this kid out with severe prejedice. No problem"
This little guy was incredibly scrappy and wiry and had terrific stamina. We pounded out the whole segment into pretty much a draw in which I was completely exhausted and glad the fight was over.
I learned to not call a random kid a "pencil neck geek", even in my own mind. And do NOT underestimate someone you have never seen fight.
Parl seriously, I would buy a PH action figure if you had one. The mini meat target idea is also very cool! Maybe a pull string that says " Remington Green and white box......and so forth

@@vdog4799 Don't forget "I'm what you call a professional. Do not try this at home.", "Wilberforce, GET HELP!", "Looks OK to me", and "You bee the judge".
Shut up and take my money.
Stranger danger, even as adults. Always educating us properly on paying attention and what scenarios to think about. Thank you Paul.
Poor Paul. Seems like every other video he's getting rained on at the range. Always so much respect when he continues making the videos in the rain!
I noticed that too. That's life in the Pacific Northwest.
I have been in serious danger from animals only twice while enjoying the great outdoors. Both of those animals were two-legged. One was while at a fishing camp at 4:00 a.m. and the other was while hunting when a couple of guys wanted my antique Rolling Block. Having a handgun saved me both times.
"Let me tell you an anecdote"
Me: ooh, this is gonna be good!
I would totally watch an hour plus long video of nothing but Paul telling anecdotes and the lessons he took away from them.
Agreed. Me too
At least we have the ‘why I don’t like Hyper ammo’ and ‘revolvers part 3’ just a half hour of talking
Paul, this is a great and enjoyable presentation; THANK YOU.
Paul, please consider this.
I would also like a video directed towards the daughters many of us have. I’ve already lost one daughter and don’t want anymore, and I don’t want anyone else to go through this. I believe Paul can make a great informational video for self protection and awareness. Many young ladies are oblivious to their surroundings and naive about the crazies in the world. These anecdotes can be pure gold. Please think about it and maybe bring in a lady to demonstrate how to be aware and prepared. Not all women are attacked with guns, my oldest daughter was stabbed while at work during a robbery at noon. I don’t think she was aware that a 21yo would be hiding a knife in his sleeve. Some people would say I should’ve bought her a gun,..I did and she wanted nothing to do with it and would never have carried it. The younger generation are brainwashed at school to think guns are only for murderers rather than tools of protection. Besides, a gun would not have helped her in that situation unless she was very observant of her surroundings. You can’t see danger coming if you are not watching for it. So... dads like me,.. . really want a good, (non-political) video that all of our daughters can watch (often forced to watch) for their own well being. My middle daughter loves the outdoors and camping and doesn’t think that she needs to carry her gun because the rabbits won’t attack her, not thinking about your store of the man ‘up to no good’ possibly on the same hiking trail that day. P.S. to get political for a moment.. she as stabbed by a 21yo whom as just released from jail on a PR bond, meaning no money bond, after the second or third time he stole a car, and had couple of drug/alcohol dui records and previously a Sex offender , yet released because of a democratic governor’s new law and now will also not be subject to death penalty also because of democrat governor. Our governor also decriminalized small amounts of meth,heroine, and some others. I think a lot more crazies are on the way. And to all the fathers out there, please take care of your daughters and teach the to protect themselves. Thank you.
Very good point.
Very sorry for your loss, Dad.
So about eight years ago, myself, my two brothers and father drew out for archery deer. In the state that we live in, if you have a concealed weapons permit, you can carry a handgun while archery hunting, and since none of us had one, we only had bows. So we had a fairly successful hunt, but there was a moment when we were hunting a spot that we perceived as pretty far from anything, and we were for the most part alone in the woods. Well, when we came out of the area and moved on, my older brother who was 17 at the time, told my father that he'd seen people moving around, not wearing camo, not carrying bows, etc. it wasn't maybe a week later, that we were at the local gun shop and there was a big hubbub, turns out that the area that we were hunting was a "farm" where some less than reputable people were growing some less than legal substances, and they shot and killed someone who was hunting in the area. Anymore, I don't walk away from the truck without at least a reload for my rifle and one for my handgun.
I, too, like rifle/pistol combos. .22 short Remington gallery gun with Astra Cub in .22 Short; Ruger MkIs and IIs to go with the 10-22s; High Standard Sentinel revolver with Marlin 60; .327 Federal Single Sevens and a Marlin 1894CB in .327 (thank you Ranger Point Precision); Ruger Blackhawk and Rossi 92 in .357; Super Blackhawk and assorted other .44s and Rossi 92 in .44; 1911 pistol and M1 Garand; 1917 S&W and Springfield rifle; Walther P38 and K98 Mauser; Browning Hi-Power and Enfield #1 MkIII. A Uberti Stallion Target in .22 with a pre-Henry Iver Johnson lever action. This one has the magnum cylinder, so we are currently searching for a .22 magnum rifle, of the lever action variety, probably a Henry as Marlin and Winchesters are priced out of range. Be careful. A guy could get carried away with this whole concept...

He did an interview a few month ago on ending his stand up tour I just saw it today.
Paul, I do the same when deer hunting. Hunt with my Savage rifle in .308 backed up with a CZ P 07 in 9mm for basically same reasons you spoke about. Paul make that 2 hour anecdote video your subscribers would enjoy listening to your wisdom.

I had the same experience horse back on a back road, a fellow in a van was hostile drunk and I must have taken his manhood away on my horse, he rode slowly beside me doing everything he could to provoke a fight, I pick an open spot in the woods and simply rode away from him. Sitting in my jacket pocket was a Copy lawman MK III Sub nose. He never saw it, but it was there.
P/S a zombie big foot is a Zasquach, Cheers!
I have always wanted Savage to bring back the model 24 Camper 22lr over 20 gauge. None of the current Savage or Chiappa combo guns satisfy me that well. That would be a brilliant "if it makes gravy shoot it" gun.
I have four rifle/handgun combos now. #1 Ruger 10/22 and Ruger Mk IV both in 22 LR, #2 Marlin 1894 and S&W Model 60 both in 357 Magnum, #3 Ruger 44 Carbine and Ruger Super Blackhawk both in 44 Magnum and #4 Big Horn Armory Model 89 and S&W Model 500 both in 500 S&W Magnum. Good for anything except long range in my combos.
Please! Make a video titled: "Boring you for a couple of hours with anecdotes". We demand it!!! Paul, you're the best storyteller in the history of the art!
When I lived in Florida I was shot at twice while doing fieldwork. I learned later that in the south they spell "unarmed" "V-I-C-T-I-M."
Paul I was up on 5427 at a pond with family. I was in water getting gold fish... I left my pistol in the truck. We had a guy drive up to my wife and kids. He approach my wife and kids. He didn’t see me and I was with out my pistol in the truck.... I was able to talk with him which he didn’t see me and drive off. When he drove up to my wife he ask my wife if she was alone how long she been here etc... very spooky way looking around etc.. I never again won’t have my pistol on my person. Great thing is my wife starting practicing with her pistol again that day!!!
Laws are so different state to state i like how how Paul points that out accurately.
"Now these won't be in any particular order but number one on my list..." That's hilarious! Great channel Paul!
Got to love the nonchalant transition between "minding my own business" and hunting jackrabbit.
I hate the word "antiquated" when used on a rifle I trained with at boot camp.
Technically the M16 was first issued in 1964. 56 years ago. It is currently eligible for C&R status. So if you don't like the word antiquated how about "relic?"
@@GunFunZS ouch
@@GunFunZS The same rifle is used today only with more rails and furniture. Some would say that 1911s were too old in Vietnam but they are still in use today. 60 years later. If anything the m4 pattern carbine is an inferior rifle in many ways to the 20 inch A2 and A1 patterns.
I was in corrections for just under seven years, I've called the rifles in the state armory a lot worse than "antiquated".
Your old, it happens.
The FN Five-seveN - for those occasional jackrabbits that you find sitting just outside the range of your 20g shotgun, while also wearing LVL III body armor...
Another display of wisdom and practicality.
I can't get enough of Paul pulling guns out of pockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 357 to the soda.....love it!!!!
If anyone is interested in putting peep sights on a 10/22, tech sights are a great option to go with, however if you don't have a sturdy vice you're going to have trouble getting the front sight out.
I just know that after you shot that soda bottle up close with the 357 Magnum, that as soon as the shot was over you dropped the deadpan and laughed your butt off.
9:45 I've ran into a similar situation hiking in the woods by myself unarmed! It's a very scary situation and I could have gotten murdered! Most people you meet on trails are generally nice and decent people, but you got a few trouble makers that think they own the public land and are looking for nothing but trouble... This is why I'm getting my CCW permit.
One day, it was too muddy to hike, so I was walking home, and some small, yappy dog runs up to me aggressively barking while the owner watched... Eventho I used animal psychology to make it back down, I still had my hand on my gun the entire time. Looking back tho... i guess i should have just shot it & put it on my application to the ATF ?
First time commenting on your videos, long time lurker, army vet; yavit yavit. Your awesome. Not only do you give accurate information but you also serve your opinion without Serving it.
love my .44mag in carbine and pistol carry same ammo for both out hunting, etc
