Paul's holiday specials have become a tradition.

Watching Paul make biscuits and gravy for 30 minutes at 9pm on a Thanksgiving night is much more entertaining than any produced television show.

As Paul yelled "dammit get down!" for sure everyone in a circle of 1mile dropped in the dirt and started to sweat instantly until he said "everything is ok"...

I love Paul’s facial expressions and reactions of horror when he finds the desiccant packs. It’s like he has war flashbacks when he finds one.

Mom and Dad passed away, last year and a few years ago. Selling the house and 10 acres so today I'll be heading to the empty house to sit on the floor and imagine how it used to be. Full of family, friends, a big table full of good food. 25+ years of family gatherings during Thanksgiving. Just want to see it one last time :( Thanks for all of your videos Mr. Paul.

"This is a high tech charcoal manipulation device" Never change, Paul. Never change. Happy Thanksgiving to you, sir.

Dear Santa, this year for Paul's Christmas special please encourage him to sit down and tell us all those long-winded anecdotes he keeps promising he could "bore us" with for hours. That's all I want this year; no shooting, no chronographing, no meat-targets, no rebuttles, or field cooking. Just good old-fashioned, fascinating stories and anecdotes from Mr. Paul Harrell. Thank you!

I always feel safe when Paul is packin, especially enjoying a holiday cooking over an open fire. Reading the comments on this video feels like a nice Thanksgiving gathering of friends. Thanks for sharing this moment with all of us.

Even as an european, this is more than enjoyable to watch. Happy thanksgiving across the pond!

Five years ago, if you told me that I’d be watching a grown man wearing an older shooting jacket making biscuits, id have said you were crazy. But two years in a row, I’m watching and liking.

I just watched a man cook a field dinner with Dutch ovens for almost two and half hours...and it was more entertaining than most of the other junk on YT, and certainly more entertaining than anything on TV.

"I can't believe Paul doesn't have 1 million subs". He is freaking hilarious..

I love Paul's long winded versions!! Paul knows his audience very well.

Watching Paul’s thanksgiving special is like watching Diehard on Christmas. It’s been the highlight of the day for 3 years in a row now.

I LOST IT WHEN HE MADE THE NOISE OFF CAMERA!!! HAHAHHA, Paul is a comedic genius

"Don't run away, just jump in this pot" Had me laughing there!

The difference between an F in cooking class and an A in the field is the fact that people in the field are very hungry. Edible is fine, edible with taste and looking like it should is exceptional.

Mr. Harrell, thanks for this. I lost my last living relative October 2nd and have no family of my own. My friends are off doing their own thing and my presence in their stuff would be, at best, rude. The Holidays are, for lots of people like me, synonymous with Lonelidays. Thanks both for thinking of folks like me, and for entertaining and educating folks like me. It is very appreciated, and very welcome. Oh, and you did make a slight error in my view about one thing. There is no such thing as "too much" frosting. If there is more frosting anywhere on the planet, you don't have too much. ;)

Lol when he’s shooting he is “shatner-esque” but when he’s cooking he’s “Bob Ross-esque”. Love your content Paul, most informative/non-bs guns and ammo content there is! Thanks for the years of entertainment.

This guy is Epic! He talks about cooking, the same way he talks about weapons. Paul is a national treasure.

“…that would be some mouse…” Paul, you have been feeding those mice on pumpkin, cookies, enormous quantities of orange soda, pumpkins… I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the critters around that range were big enough to swallow a cow whole. A can would be nothing to them, they’d rip off the top, eat the contents, and pick their teeth with the can. 😂😂😂

1:06:06 “Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched?” Deer behind him: *He’s onto us, he knows*

I like Paul's co-hosts for this special, the deer as technique judges in the background really added a fun element.

I was sitting through the first part thinking “where are all the deer?” Not much later I see Paul trying to coax deer into a pot. Happy Thanksgiving.

I wish I had an uncle like Paul to whisk me away during Thanksgiving to “help him with something in the garage” where we discuss the effectiveness of hyper ammo while running a reloading press. Happy Thanksgiving to Paul and crew. Thank you for all you do.

I know I'm some days behind, but I didn't have a very thrilling thanksgiving. In particular, I didn't get to spend it with my son, which is always hard. So I made my food, sat at the computer and watched this, and I had all the joy I could have gotten if I had spent it with my own family. Thanks for your content, Paul. You make strangers feel like close friends, and that's exactly what the world needs.

"Can you bring in some more chairs?" "Of course. Just as soon as I finish this training video." Thanks for making Thanksgiving special opps Mr. Harrell!

Paul's Thanksgiving cooking specials are always great, even better with gunfire in the background.

I’ve always had a weird affinity for cooking shows but never knew what they were missing was a firearm on the chef’s hip. Paul invents a whole new genre here and I’m loving it!

A truly wholesome Thanksgiving in the woods! Cheers, lads.

This has fast become something of a tradition for me, to watch the Paul Harrell Thanksgiving cookout and listen to anecdotes and always learning something. It's relaxing. Sometimes, I can watch the whole way through. Other times, like this year, I was busy with other errands and things and so I watched this in bits and pieces. I am thankful to have this entertainment and resource.

I would watch a 2nd channel called Paul Harrell Cooking. Simple, straightforward, to the point.

Paul…. This is like the 1,000 comment …. You probably will never see it, but Thanks so much for Sharing Thanksgiving with all of us! Best wishes and Happy Holidays to you and your crew!

I am less than two minutes into your Thanksgiving presentation and I am already spitting a gut laughing. Paul, you are one of the funniest personalities on the interwebs! Thank you for your dry, dry, dry humor.

Mr. Harrell, what a nice premise for a long video! Even though I spent a rather sanguine thanksgiving with family, well the few that are still here, I will enjoy this presentation at my leisure, when I need it. Thank you so much!

I remember last Thanksgiving watching the Paul Harrell special. Paul, you are family to all of us.

Paul Harrell has posted, now the holiday can begin! Happy Thanksgiving Paul, and thanks for all you do.

I really appreciate Paul's sense of humor, it is like he knows my family.....and the necessity of hiding out.

Living Breathing Legend, i listened to his presentation while working on a report. Beats the hell of out chill out music.

Happy Thanksgiving Paul! Thank you for all you do, from humor to education; we appreciate your time and effort.

It's amazing how Paul gets the deer to hold his camera for him for closeups.

It was really thoughtful that you made this long video with certain people in mind who may appreciate the length for the holiday. I watched with my wife and kids thinking, “Ah, cool! It’s way too long so we won’t watch all of this. But we’ll watch some.” We watched almost ALL of it! We especially loved the cooking, and the kids especially enjoyed laughing at your sense of humor. Thanks, Paul! Great video!

Just wanna say I love these Paul. You’re a great talker and I don’t get bored listening to you talk. You teach things great and overall think we should see more of these

Finally something to watch to cool me down after the in-laws leave.

Happy Thanksgiving, Paul! Yeah, I'm estranged from what little family I have left, and am sitting at home, with only my kitty as company. I was very glad to see your Turkey Day Special show up. In our house, growing up, we used Thanksgiving as a day not only for a massive horde of kin coming over for my mom's cooking (can't blame them, mom was an awesome cook), but to remember everything we were thankful for. Even though my remaining kin and I haven't spoken in well over a decade, I feel that all things considered, I have much to be thankful for. I'm alive, reasonably healthy, have enough to meet my needs, a roof over my head, food to eat, and a kitty that tolerates me fairly well. So many don't even have a roof or a bed; yeah, I'm thankful for what I have. It's not a lot, but it's enough.

Outstanding, Paul, I enjoyed every minute of the Holiday Special!

For some odd reason when you did he math equation I had a flashback to Abbott and Costello's "7x13=28" routine. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

Paul, thank you once again for a lovely thanksgiving special. since my divorce, thanksgivings are a very boring affair with an empty house and no nearby family. these specials really help me zone out and enjoy an otherwise empty holiday.

As much as I enjoy Paul's normal videos, I've come to enjoy the dutch oven cooking videos even more. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thank you, Sir, for an OUTSTANDING video! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 😊

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Paul! Thanks for the Dutch oven recipes and anecdotes; entertaining as usual! :)

I look forward each year to Paul’s thanksgiving & Christmas specials. Paul is definitely a national treasure! Man I’d give about anything to be able to have a camping trip with Paul just so I could hear all his stories

As someone who has to ride along 2.5hrs to my grandparents for Thanksgiving I really appreciate your holiday specials.

Hi Paul. I’m English and therefore, prohibited from the majority of firearms. However, I enjoy all your videos, finding them entertaining and very informative. Happy thanksgiving!

"Damn, that's good" ... ROFL ... keep the videos coming, Paul. I mean, really - they are so uplifting and funny when not being greatly informational. You have a real gift. A great comfort during these times of stress and uncertainty. God bless you.

I am honestly way more excited for this than I am for food. I mean Im really going to love the food, but Paul's special's are absolutely amazing. Thanks Paul and crew.

Here’s the difference between watching the PH Thanksgiving Special and the various football games: the latter leaves you empty and depressed, the former instructs, educates, illuminates, entertains and informs. Plus, well, PAUL HARRELL!

The sheer joy that runs through me when I see there's a new Paul Harrell video out.

The deer checking out what your cooking is awesome. Thanks for including that

Less than two minutes in and I'm really excited for the long-winded anecdotes!

@23:50 - Flour can be quite explosive. That's why there were never any flames, even candles, in mills. Grain silos are another place you don't want to inspect with an open flame. Great show as always!

Dang, I love it when he says "We need to put on just the right amount of...." DUMP! HAHAHA! Paul is the only guy who tells a hunting story that turns out to be a life lesson. Great video Paul!

I appreciate your videos; I've learned a lot about guns from you, and I value your wisdom and ability to speak clearly and concisely. Keep'em comin'! Godspeed.

This has become a wonderful and beloved part of my Thanksgiving tradition. Thank you, Mr Harrell!

“Mum! These biscuits taste funny”... ...”That’s all right Johnny, it’s because Daddy didn’t shoot them today”.

As you ate the biscuits and gravy a question occurred to me; just how many meals have you eaten standing up? I figure between the cooking, the military, doing security, teaching, etc., it must be thousands. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada Paul, and thank you.

Great videos and always learning from your skills. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Thanks, Paul, for putting in all this extra effort for the extended Holiday Special. It is appreciated.

Been watchin your thanksgiving specials since you stared doing them in 2019. Love it. I look forward to it every thanksgiving morning when I wake up. Its become a yearly tradition. Happy thanksgiving Paul to you and your family.

I Love Paul Harrell . The UNITED STATES of AMERICA'S GREATEST QUALITY IS IT'S PEOPLE , PEOPLE LIKE PAUL . I Am Thankful I Live In A Nation With Paul Harrell , and People Who Think & Act Like Paul . Thank You Lord .

Mr. Harrell, You sir, are amazing! I am so glad my husband introduced me to you and your videos! Thank you for everything, you are such a gift!

Watching Paul make gravy reminds of what my Pawpaw would tell me about how he grew up. “Boy you don’t know how lucky we are, we get to use milk for our gravy”

Paul is a breath of fresh air, I love his dry sense of humor and his sarcasm, obviously he has spent many years dealing with the public...If you haven't had the same experience then you have no clue what I'm talking about. Thanks Paul, You are the MAN!

I wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up. Paul, these gems are great even after Thanksgiving, they also last longer and are better than the leftovers! I can hardly wait until next year's special!

I really enjoy Paul's show, not only has he expanded my knowledge of guns and ammo but now how to cook without an apron and with a side arm...Paul you truly are a cultured man...HOOAH!!

Oh boy 2 and a half hours of Paul! What a great holiday treat!

Ah yes, the good old days when on any given weekend my buddy and I would raid the old mans ammo cache and go through 2-3 boxes of 20ga and most of a brick of lightnings.

Can’t wait for thanksgiving 2023 !!! I think i watch this video as much as the others !!!!! Thank You Paul !!!!! 😂❤🎉

I do love a good 🦌 hunt story. Love this story it has all the elements in it. Not knowing about what others are doing around you and all the little things like putting down the shotgun.

So thankful we have someone to share their stories and experiences with us. Paul Harrell has become a tradition in our household

Ha, I’ll be eagerly anticipating the Paul Harrell Woodworking Holiday Special where you (and by extension us) learn to make a hardy chest of your own design! Thanks for the laughs and class as always Paul. Happy Thanksgiving

First. thank you for the video. This maybe helpful maybe not. Camp clean incinerator. Equipment needed: flat end spade - metal fence pole - grate. some way to make spark. make square hole in ground 12 to 16" by 6 to 8" 6 to 8" deep. make a deeper smaller 2" rut in center of hole. place pole segments at each end in to the rut and out into the air over the side. place grate inside over the center rut and ends of poles. place dry grass or anything that start fire. place wood over starter as much as needed. this will not only burn clean (no smoke) because the fire will pull air under the fire. this will burn anything thing placed into it ever glass. when camping ends place all trash into hole burn it. replace earth back in hole pull out poles when not hot. this works in rain if started before the rain. great video thank you again.

Thank you for a great video, Paul! It is a true plesure to watch you at your activities, it is clear you know what you are doing and that is rare in modern world

Your cigarette fuse timer might not works nowadays since most cigarettes sold are FSC (Fire Safe Cigarettes). It might go out before it reaches the fuse.

i was joking to myself "one of these days there's gonna be a third desiccant pack" today was the day.

My wife and I always watch these videos, because she loves to cook outside, usually when we camp at night in the forest next to our home (where we also fish and hunt small game). Food always tastes better in the field, and she's definitely adding pizza to her dutch oven repertoire. 👍👍

Thanks for the Thanksgiving Special. I always look forward to this every year.

Excellent presentation. Thank You!, for the great amount of time and effort it took to create. I spent the day alone, so thanks for the company...

Man I love this dude, “Bogarting the waffle iron” …. As always a great video. I’m running back and forth now, between the Turkey, Apple pie, giblet gravy and a now annual tradition of watching Paul’s Thanksgiving special. Happy Thanksgiving brother and straight shooting.

this was awesome, i watched as we cooked our thanksgiving meal too. well done Paul

Cant believe I watched a Paul Harrell video where it wasn't RAINING . Cant believe I watched the entire 2 1/2 Hrs. Absolutely believe it was worth every minute. Thanks Paul and Crew, stay safe. Northern Ontario Canada

Lovin' the video so far brother. May be the greatest intro/ prologue in the history of this platform. Thanks for occupying space for 2+ hrs. May God bless you mightily for your Thanksgiving endeavor! Now I'm done taking up space here in the comments, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Paul !!!🫓🍗🍗🍗

Let’s do this! Always appreciate the holiday specials

I love the treasure chest for keeping food/ingredients in.

Why is he a pro at literally EVERYTHING?! I need his skill

Paul, thanks for posting this video! It helped me pass the time on a lonely Thanksgiving holiday. As always, I enjoyed the stories and the tips on cooking. I look forward to ALL of your videos, especially the Thanksgiving videos each year. Thanks again!

Paul, you’re a treasure. We’re all thankful for your educational videos

I'm really loving the outdoor cooking. Makes me want to try it.

The baby yoda washcloth was a real treat, thanks.
