Some people have erroneously posted on line that I'm "stage four" I am NOT. It was caught very early and I'm going to be here for a long time. I posted this video for two reasons: 1) to head off comments telling me I look tired/bad/etc. 2) to get out in front of the lies stalkers will tell.

I hope you beat your cancer Paul, we’re all rooting for you man.

Best of luck to you Paul, I know you’re already doing as much as you can.

January 31, 2024 : One Million Subscribers. A tribute to a worthy man who has entertained and educated us for years. Thank you sir!

Stay strong! I am a 21-year stage 4 prostate cancer survivalist. Attitude is key. Thank you for everything 🙏🏿🇺🇸

We’ll be sticking around as long as you do.

Paul Harrell. Walks on water, swims on land. Feeds the Navy Seals. Shoots eleven targets with ten shots and nine rounds. Speaks Russian in French. Thanks for all you’ve done, and all you do.

As a former member of 1-162IN Battalion, you're undoubtedly one of its most remarkable sons. In the unlikely event that this affliction overtakes you, we'll pick up the slack. That is all.

"don't jump ship. Don't unsubscribed." Paul, none of us would ever imagine doing so because of your diagnoses. We are here for you Chief.

May your poptarts forever be sweet Mr Harrell

Real man... Real talk... No matter the subject. That's how I judge it.

My Dad fought his pancreatic cancer for three years after an initial prognosis was for a three month life expectancy. I'll include you in my prayers.

In a fight between Paul Harrell and cancer, I don't think the cancer stands a chance. Stay safe & stay sharp Mr Harrell.

“I’m getting stalked by an ex from back when we invaded Panama, so I have to let you know I have cancer, don’t worry about it” lol you’re the best Paul, never change

Paul, I wrote you about a year ago about advice on handgun ammo for police work, and you replied giving me an awesome answer. I won’t jump ship, I’m not going anywhere. You’ve earned my total respect and my prayers to beat your illness. Thank you for all you’ve done, and all you have yet to do.

I wish more people talked like Paul does. There are just people with real CHARACTER that comes out.

“I most certainly do not need any advice on the healing powers of crystals or green tea.” Jesus I had forgotten how much I respect this man. Words to live by right there.

Don't know you personally, but we need more people like you in the world, Paul.

Paul, you're a national Treasure to youtube, America, and the 2nd amendment. I hope and pray you get the best out of every day you have left. Keep your head up, it's not over until it's over.

We're all born to die. We live with the dying. We are raised with the Dead. It's seems you had a great journey. Happy Trails, My friend.

Paul is the dad we didn't ask for but the dad we needed.. Hang in there Paul! I'll be praying for you Sir!

"People have been reminding me how terrible I look since kindergarten." Most relatable quote ever! I love this man and his dry humor.

Paul may God Bless you and your family during these trying times. Thank you for your service. You should be justifiably proud of the content you’ve provided your fellow man.

I was brought to here from your "I just shot Marvin in the Face" clip, and you've got yourself a new sub. I missed out on the first parts of your KZfaq Career, but I love your attitude and your sense of humorr, and I am always eager to learn about guns and gun safety. Hope recovery is going well, have a good day, sir.

From the crew I will say THANK YOU for all the kind words and support. We will ride this ride as long as Paul allows us to. Again, THANK YOU and here is to many more videos. ❤

Paul is the badass uncle we all wish we had! What an absolute legend

We all know you enough to not believe the lies. Everyone who do know you appreciate the years of instruction you have provided on everything from gun reviews, tips, training, ammo selection, hunting, cookinf, blackpowder. We are all rooting for you and will support you and this channel.

Thank you Paul for your expertise & dedication to the 2nd Amendment & our way of life. You have & continue to serve us well. We LOVE you!!

I am an RN and I work with people who have had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer on a weekly basis. You have the attitude of a survivor and a logical mindset. In my experience, people like you fare better. I trust you will find experts that treat your specific problem on a weekly basis. Godspeed your recovery.

Aw man that sucks, F Cancer, we’re all here rooting for you ❤

I have incredibly high respect for you and your channel. I’ve yet to meet a single person that can say a bad word about you. Everyone loves you and your channel, Paul. I wish you all the best, Roy too.

Paul Harrell you don't need to apologize for anything!!! May GOD continue to bless you and your entire family 🙏!!! Paul Harrell you're what we call a professional 😊

I feel that anyone who would “jump ship” and abandon you for health reasons is a substandard human being. I look forward to watching your videos for years to come sir. 🇺🇸

A man's health is his business. Prayers from my family. Keep on keeping on.

Your sense of humor and command of the english language is impeccable! You had me busting out laughing several times. Your an American treasure Sir with your content and patriotism! God Speed.

Oh, Mr. Harrell. I pray that God lift you up and strengthen you, to lay His healing hand upon you, to His Glory. You have been, and continue to be, a blessing to this firearm rookie. Your information and knowledge have been invaluable, and continue to be so.

Paul do what is best for YOU! We will be here supporting you.

On a side note, as a personal trainer, i always found it inspiring that you are actually in such great shape. Those "baggy"clothes hide some serious results of discipline and consistency. Cancer chose a seriously tough opponent to battle.

My wife tells me I lack empathy… I wish you well and hope for the best. Thanks for the content you have created and continue to create. I enjoy your style and delivery!

Sorry to hear the medical news; praying for you; keep up the positive attitude!

Paul--to quote one of my fitness heroes--Mike Mentzer--"If I could explain the actions of irrational people then they wouldn't be irrational". Sorry to hear you're dealing with the double whammy of extreme human cruelty and severe illness. If anyone screams basic decency through word and deed it is you. You have all of our support, love and prayers.

Man, this is rough. I feel like an old friend of mine is sick, and I have never met you. I am sending prayers your way, that's what everyone here needs to do.

Wow. I just heard about this on another channel. Paul you are such a valuable asset. I hope the best for you Sir. I would like to thank you for you, your service, and your contribution to education. "you", described by me, are a fountain of information that is practical, reliable, and honest. Not to forget your outstanding ability to convey information in an understandable and entertaining way. I have learned so much. Stay strong. Know we are behind you brother. Believe you are an absolute necessity-as you are.

God bless you brother Paul. You have helped to enlighten thousands online and will continue to do so. I can sympathize with all you say here and the social ills we deal with today.

I've never wanted a video to be an April Fool's joke more than this one, but I recognize it is NO joke at all. Wishing you all peace and health, Paul. Thank you for all you do.

Love you paul. Nothing weird.

Love you Paul, as an expat who moved back to my fatherland in Serbia, I can tell you that you have many gun nuts here who love & respect you and your work. You're going to be in our prayers. God Bless. ☦︎

Greetings from Ireland and best wishes for your return to full health. You are the best instructor period, a true professional with perfect pace and delivery.

I feel sorry for Paul's cancer cause it must be terrified that it's going to come down with the worst case of Paul doctors have ever seen! Just keeping it light and love you, man. You got this.

Humility with a giant helping of courage. We're with you Paul.

Paul, I can watch you calmly and rationally explain guns, life experiences and your opinions all day. You are one of the only trustworthy quiet sources of information on the internet. Thanks, from Texas.

Paul I found your channel a few years ago when you broke down that Florida shooting from the 80s. I've always found your videos very factual, informative and too the point. With just 1% dash of humor in their to break up sometime heavy subject matter. I wish you and your channel nothing but the best.

Paul has got to be the most chill, down-to-earth person I’ve ever seen.

Hey Paul, most likely no one will read this but I never had a dad or any positive male role model in my life. You and a handful of other men on KZfaq have taught me a lot. It sucks to hear you’re not well. I’m sure the cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Thanks for everything sir.

Hello Paul, family and friends , I hope you are all well, Cracking video. Good man. Cancer can be beaten and I am sure you will beat it Paul. Take care and stay safe all of you. Tim W, England.

So kentucky ballistics told me the bad news so I wanted to come show some love and send some prayers and best wishes. Hang in there brother hope you can beat this, I've seen cancer first hand more than once and wouldn't wish that on anyone hopefully you're one of the lucky few to beat it. Just know I'm wishing you the best and sending prayers up for you.

Paul, for many years now you have stood as a beacon of knowledge within this community and have taught us all so much. For all that time you were behind us, in return we will always be forever thankful for you and all you have done. I believe I can speak for us all when I say this: Thank you, Paul Harrell. We will stand with you forever.

As a 3 year cancer survivor... I understand. I'm rooting for you friend.

May God bless you Paul. Thank you for your continuous wisdom.

We all will stand with Paul 👍

Many of us are behind you 100%, Mr. H. Thank you for all your work.

My father is a pancreatic cancer survivor and my wife is a double whammy kidney and endocrin cancer survivor. I wish you strength and good fortune, take care of yourself💯

Respect

almost a million subs with no tricks, no fancy editing, just straightforward genius. So sorry, Paul.

Hey Paul, none of us are jumping ship. In fact, I would be very surprised if your channel did not grow as a result of your openness. Watching you tackle this issue with grace, resolve, and courage is a huge example to the rest of us. Hang in there and know we're all behind you.

We are all behind you Paul, wishing you the best. 👍

Paul, you're either going to be alright and live a longer time or you're not. Either way, it's all just another step in the adventure. Prayers for you no matter what. It's a good thing to have people praying for you. I don't know what you believe. That's your business. As always, do the best you can and everything will turn out just fine.

Paul, on the one hand, I am sad to see that you are having to step away from here. On the other hand, I respect, support, and am glad to hear that you are going to focus on you and take care of yourself for a bit. Also, based on your pinned comment, it’s a relief to hear that you caught it early. Beat this thing and we will see you again soon.

You're a national treasure, Paul. Not just as a content creator, but as a person. Your honesty is everything to me. Thank you.

All I can say is we love you Paul. You’ve been like a father to alot of us fatherless men

Hang in there brother.

How had I missed this? It explains a lot. Best of luck, Paul.

As someone who watches a lot of different firearms channels, I can honestly say I’ve learned more from you than anyone else

Paul is so good at everything he does, when he makes a woman mad she STAYS mad.

To PAUL: TWO of my favorite people are fighting a really tough battle with cancer. A FINE, FORMER AIRBORN VETERAN, of Beaverton and you sir. Grady IS my best shooting buddy, Period, THE END! I consider you my best VIRTUAL shooting buddy! For the both of you, I publicly beseech the Lord for intersession, healing your illnesses, and granting both of you many more quality years here on our planet. Thank you Lord! AMEN! Thank you dear sir for being there for us who do not have the facilities, knowledge, or available time to produce and distributing your incredible firearms educational content. I joined your users late in 2012, when I was a young whipper-snapper. Now, being 3/4 of a century old, it seems your great presence has literally flown by. Keep the faith. My trifle, "getting shot by a moron" story remains somewhere on your vast library of knowledge! I can't think of a better home for the story, hightening some readers' awareness and blanketing them with shooting safety. AND Yes, I posted this personal note to your related interview channels. FURTHERMORE, A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS IS THE FOUNDATION OF MAKING A BIG IMPACT... THANKS!

Thank you so much Paul, I have learned so much from you, you are my go to on everything firearms , you may have saved mine and my sons life ! much respect to you sir ! God Bless you brother !

I am a fan, a physician, and a shooter since I was 8 years old (I am now 57). I don't "follow" KZfaqrs, so I just occasionally watch your videos and thoroughly enjoy them when I see them. I will not offer sympathy, medical advice, or other such things that you clearly don't need or want. Your contributions are valuable and appreciated, that is my opinion and my observation. I perceive you to be a man of solid integrity and character. I wish you well and hope I run into more of your presentations in the near future.

Dear Mr. Harrell - you are one in a million, and we're all supporting you. You've given such good information and commentary to all of us, that we're grateful. Thank you Sir.

Take care Paul. If anyone can beat this, it's you. Sending positive thoughts.

So glad you hit the million mark Paul, if anyone is deserving of this in the shooting space on YT, it's you. I've criticized a couple of your videos in the past, (I was an adjunct instructor with SigSauer Academy for 10+ years, and was an instructor with 2 PMCs, so my experience is just different is all, not better), and you responded both times. You're such a well reasoned, well spoken, and honest YT creator here. I love it. I searched this video out to find the first time you spoke of your cancer. Going through similar health issues in terms of severity with my family and even now myself to a certain degree, I respect the shit out of the way you continue to handle yourself regarding it.

This channel was the impetus for me changing my mind on 2A and realizing my upbringing was not a true reflection of how gun owners are. Thanks Paul, really made me a more well rounded and informed person.

I love you, dad. I hope you can pull through.

Sending love Mr. Harrell. I battled the cancer 10 years ago. If you don't have any enemies, you haven't done your best!

Legends never die.

63 year old woman here. Didn't start shooting till age 59. You have helped me so much! Thank you. Do what is best for you. We will stick around!!

You’re in our prayers Paul. And we’re with you.

I am in your corner yes cancer is a bad thing yes I have cancer myself it was found during a check out for a shoulder repair thanks for being there for us Paul

Love you, Paul. You’ve always been the real deal. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep fighting.

We are all rooting for you Mr Harrell

Brother. We will be here the whole time. Your presentations will be around longer than all of us; what a legacy.

@paulharrell your contributions to the community are invaluable. Thank you! I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best.

Paul, I know I’m late. I’m a fellow Marine, I’ve had cancer twice and am facing a scare for the third time. Head down, chin up, and I hope nothing but the best for you. You da man.

Nothing drives our enemies more crazy than being successful. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all of this Paul. Rest assured you're in everyone's prayers. With a speedy recovery on the horizon.

Much love to you, brother, and thank you for the update. We appreciate you and we're all sticking around, for sure. 👍💚

I pray for a speedy recovery.

A legend amongst men , from when I bought my first gun to today I never pray but I’ll make an exception get well Paul

Others have said it, but we are all rooting for your full recovery. Courage, brother.

You have been nothing but a professional and source for amazing information for years. Thank you for everything you have done for our community sir. I stand with you and wish nothing but the best for you and your health sir.

I just found your channel from watching you on the "Garand Thumb" Channel, so you are new to me. I hope things go well with your health. I am 70, and we all face life for what it is. I personally look forward to a better life after this one, and a chance to see my family and friends again.

Rock on Paul. I beat cancer and rooting for you too! Let's not take that dirt nap.
