"Personal danger from cougers decreases with my increase in grey hair..." Absolutely hilarious. Best gun guy around. Well done.

A friend had a Taurus Judge...and a very sad thing happened. He left it in in full view on the seat of his unlocked car to go in the local convince store. When he came back, it was still there. 😒

Imagining Paul colouring in the rabbits made my day

Many people have asked which is my favorite .410 bore shotgun. There are a lot of good ones but my favorite is the ithica M-66

Paul's raw disdain towards the Taurus Judge always cracks me up.

"My danger from cougars decreases in direct proportion to my increase in grey hair" Paul's dry humor never fails to be fantastic.

"Revolvers don't jam!" Taurus: Hold my beer!

I can’t decide whether Paul’s first word as an infant was “caveat,” or “disclaimer?”

"So once again, the Taurus Judge remains usless."

The arterial spray gave me a chuckle.

Always love how Paul pulls guns out of every pocket.

The cougar joke was one of the smoothest I've heard in a while.

“So once again the Taurus Judge remains useless “ 😂 this killed me

" You're not going to break up with her on the trip, you are going to wait until you get home." Instant sub. That is sound advice.

”Some times you to have a gun, and not let your girlfriend know” every day! If she doesn't know how many I have, she can't prove I got a new one

One huge advantage of the 22 is that the ammo is super light. You can carry a box of 50 without noticing. You start noticing the weight of a box of 50 in 9mm or 38 special. I might be inclined to carry a can of bear spray and a 22 of my choosing.

80% of the way through we get an outtro, a black screen, and then BOOM bonus Paul content. Don't miss it.

The part at the very end where Paul says he hopes those people don't have kids, driver's license, supervisory positions, or ever sat on a jury is simultaneously the most savage and polite diss I have ever heard.

Instead of the Ruger, I went with the Henry AR-7 in my survival/bug-out bag; especially for when you don’t want folks to know you have a rifle. Sure, it’s not immediately deployable like my .45 EDC, but it assembles quickly, is lightweight, and remarkably accurate. Plus, it breaks down and fits into the stock, which is waterproof, and floats.

100% the best informational firearm channel on KZfaq. Nothing but professionalism.

How Paul has not yet thrown that Judge into the nearest very deep body of water is beyond me.

I love the fact that he colored in the rabbit targets. This attention to detail is the hallmark of a top notch gun channel.

Timestamps for people who want them: - 00:00: Intro - 00:15: Wilderness survival in brief - 04:15: The rifle you brought with you on your hunting trip that went bad (example: Marlin 1895, .45-70) - 06:35: .22 pistols (examples: Ruger Mark 3, Beretta M9-22, and Ruger LCP, all in .22 LR) - 11:50: 9x19mm pistols (examples, Beretta M9 and SIG M18, both in 9x19mm) - 13:10: .22 takedown rifles (example: Ruger 10/22 Takedown, .22 LR) - 14:13: .410 shotguns (example: Mossberg 510 and Taurus Judge, both in .410; the Judge, naturally, performs poorly here and Paul doesn't recommend it) - 19:06: Little guns (examples: S&W 638 Airweight, .38 Special, and Ruger LCP, .380 Auto) - 22:30: Slightly less little guns (example: SIG P365, 9x19mm) - 24:01: Conclusion (credits a little bit before during the P365 shooting sequence) - 24:25: Addendum explaining signal shots and addressing the "coulda shoulda woulda" brigade

Going to miss this guy. Who else is going through his back catalogue?

I find it hard to believe that anyone actually skips any portion of a Paul Harrell video.

The Best survival tip of the video: Don't break up with your gf on a camping trip. Wait, till you get home."

I was told by a Royal Marine to always remember the 7 P's. Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

""It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."" Too many people have never heard this quote or never understood the meaning. You just have to shake your head or laugh and move away from them.

"...Getting some arterial spray...." I died. "Danger from cougars goes down proportionally to my grey hair..." I experienced a second death.

"So... Once again the Taurus Judge is useless." Paul's truth in life.

Paul Harrell "this is the boring part where I talk please bare with me" Me *excitedly pulls out note pad, audio recording, stops what I'm doing to watch and listen*

The Judge came out the year I turned 21 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever...fortunately, I didn't have the money to spare when I was young and dumb.

There are people who believe staying in a 2-star hotel in lieu of a 4-star resort is “adverse conditions” your results may vary

Paul: Please follow this video up with one about how to field dress a 2 liter soda bottle and cardboard rabbits. Some of us ate not as versed as you in these skills. As always, good video, good information. Thanks.

Paul, back in the 80's when I was a teenager a friend had a Savage Model 24 (i think that is correct) over/under that was chambered in a rifle on the top barrel and shotgun on the bottom. I think the rifle was 222 Rem and the Shotgun was 20 Gauge with a 3 inch chamber. It was great for a survival situation. They made them in a lot of different combinations. I don't know why guns like that are not made anymore.

I like that this man is really an expert. Most others are just giving you their opinion, Paul gives us the facts!!

30 minutes from Paul is worth every second (1800 of them) I spend listening and learning

If it were my INTENT to spend the night here tonight, I would have a backpack with a tent, a sleeping bag, and a camp stove, and fuel, and five or six hundred rounds of Remington, green and yellow box, five point five six, fifty-five grain...

"you're not gonna break up with her in middle of a camping trip, you gonna do that when you get home" .... That cracked me up!

Greetings from Guam, Paul! First I just wanted to thank you so so much for providing a channel for us to be educated and better prepare ourselves through the sharing of your knowledge and experiences. Some of us may not realize it, but the fact that you put so much into making these videos is not totally lost on us. Now with that being said, this " thank you" comes with a list of caveats.. although I am extremely grateful for all your hard work.. I really would love to request another 2-3 hour long timed video. I greatly enjoyed your Thanksgiving special and would very much enjoy seeing a video with you camping, cooking, hunting, bushcraft or any other content youd like to throw in there. Thank again!

So glad im here this early on a Paul Harrell upload. This man is a legend. Ive learned so much from him. God bless everyone and America.

As soon as you said yes that one and had that "you've got to be kidding" look, I knew it was a Taurus judge. Nailed it!

Hi Paul! I found your channel because me and my dad were watching your video about .38 special vs .357 magnum snub nose and we are both thoroughly enjoying your library of videos for education and entertainment. Thank you very much for continuing to produce content!!

Thanks for all your videos. They're simple but technical enough to validate gun and projectile performances to help guide our choices.

“So once again, the Taurus Judge remains useless.” Bravo!

A tense encounter in Northern AZ was finding a pack of about a half dozen wild dogs between myself and the car. I had stopped on a dirt shoulder to photograph passing trains and the only armament was a 35mm camera. I recall saying "nice doggies" a few times...

Reasonable, Informative, and fun to watch. In other words, why I watch your vids, generally. Nicely done.

As a recent subscriber, I very much appreciate your dedication to accuracy in both your informational content and your oration. I am enjoying the channel very much.

This guy is fascinating. Love how professional he is and knows what he’s talking about. 🤟

I always like how Paul turns his head to look off screen before the scene changes. That used to be something that they did on the old Hee Haw show.

I love your introductions, it helps set the tone and establish fundamentals that a novice might need to understand the content and effectively use the information to make good decisions. I don't usually need most of the information, but I do use the information when talking to non gun owning friends and it's valuable to less experienced friends when I point them to your videos when they ask simple questions that need a lot of unpacking

"So once again, the Taurus Judge remains useless." Haha. Best line in the whole video.

"So once again, the Taurus Judge remains useless." Amen.

This channel is in the top three of all channels for knowledge gleaned. I greatly appreciate you sharing with us Paul. God bless sir

My go to 'take a walk in the woods and survival gun' has been my Savage Model 24. I've had a 22 WMR/.410 and currently a 22 WMR/20 gauge. I think it provides every practical combination of take a deer, squirrel, rabbit, game bird. Bear or cougar you can try a 20 gauge slug and then be eaten.

I have to say that I truly enjoy all the candor you put into your videos regarding the comments you receive. True and funny. Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos!!

I watched Paul shoot a running Jackrabbit at 75 yards with a Model 92FS. Twice. High desert sage brush. Yes, he can shoot.

I saw your ending after your ending Paul… now you’ve got me interested and I’ve got to hear more of your anecdotes. Maybe make a compilation of just your anecdotes titled “story time with Paul”? I would definitely watch that in its entirety regardless of how long it is.

Best survival info: if you can’t carry it (relatively) easily, it’s close to USELESS in 75%+ of “survival” situations. Love that ya start with something close to that.

Great video, thanks. As a bush pilot on the amazon forest I use to carry a Drilling, cal 16x16 over 30-06 and I believe is the best survival gun, of course is a very special condition and situation, easy to pack and to kip at the tail compartment of the Cessna 185 with some assorted cartridges to cover any situation! Thanks again!

The thumbs down are all Taurus Judge owners.

It only came out 8 seconds ago but I have no expectations of what I'm going to see. Paul you always have wildcards.

"And once again, the Taurus Judge remains useless." Lol I truly enjoy your little barbs and sense of humor. Never change, my friend. 👍

thank you paul for the video!!! keep up the great work you do!!!

Just a heads up; just because you see Paul's typical closing credits shot, doesn't mean the video is over!

Paul: Top 5 Wilderness Survival Guns Me: Oh nice! Probably gonna recommend some .22s Paul: *swings around a 26"-barrel 45-70*

Great video, keep doing what you. Praying for quick recovery. You're the best Paul.

Video editing comes with its snafus, even so, still loved every minute of it. I have a feeling there's more to this presentation, can't wait to see how this concludes.

NGL, I was hoping this would be 30 minutes of introduction with 10 minutes of information. I just really like hearing him talk.

I'm starting to wonder if Paul gets his rabbit targets from a first grade art display. " Mommy, Mommy my art class coloring project is going to be on You Tube. . . "

Good timing on this presentation. Many people are rediscovering the outdoors at the moment and many seasoned outdoorsmen are going deeper into the field.

Paul I can watch your content for hours, you truly are a professional. I had a sea kayak experience were we got stuck on an island because of rough seas. I had a ruger mk 2 with a shorter barrel. I missed every small animal I shot at. If we didn't have dried food we would have had no energy to paddle back. I purchased a Browning buck mark with a bull barrel. It was very accurate, but weights the same or more than most full size pistols. Now I just carry a 9mm.

Is this in the top 5 best videos ever made? You decide.

"So once again, the Taurus Judge remains useless". Had me laughing out loud. No truer words have ever been spoken.

"...now let me tell you an anecdote..." Oh hell yeah it's story time! *grabs popcorn*

I was thrilled when you mentioned the P365. I have to be dehydrated to get a full 2 fingers around the grip but so far it's my all time favorite.

I appreciated the coloring on the rabbits... well done Paul

I love how disappointed he looks when he pulls out the Taurus Judge and immediately has the "told you so" look. Absolutely perfect.

As always Paul very concise thanks for sharing

No Sir. Not skipping any part of your videos. Every second is priceless. Thank you for the video Paul.

Thank you Paul. A dose of sanity is most welcome. You never disappoint. Bravo! Encore!

Yes this made my evening.... thanks Paul Harrell for you videos... always makes my day or evening...

Your content is always awesome Paul. In regards to the critiques of intro information taking the majority of the video, pay it no mind. It's great information and good contextualization of the meat and potatoes of the subject. Outside of working in the armoured car industry, I'm an RSO and trainer. I've always found your channel very valuable and point range members and other RSO's to your work.

Dear Paul, there's this feature in KZfaq where you can give sections to your videos, with that you can save some words and whoever that wants to skip, they will know where. (although most of us are here for the full experience) A fan of yours.

I enjoy very much how Paul Harrell just produces large guns from his pockets. It's as if the Tardis was a jacket. I think you're better off just throwing the Judge at the rabbit.

I don't want to know the type of person who would fast forward to the part where Paul is standing next to a sign.

I made up a load for my 3006 using 90gr cast bullets and trailboss that pushes that little guy just over the sound barrier. With no magnification these rounds hit dead center on the 5th line down on my scope at 50 yards. I keep a dozen of them wrapped up in 2 pairs of extra socks (no noise) in the bottom of my hunting bag. I figure a 90gr bullet at 1200fps is the exact ballistics as a 30 Luger and that would take any small game without any meat loss. I'm also lucky enough to have access to an Iridium satellite phone I take on long overnight hunts in the Adirodacks. That is the ultimate survival tool. I have one from work and never had to use it but you can rent them for like $20/day and it sure makes me feel good knowing if I fall down a cliff and break my legs I can call my wife and let her remind me how stupid I am to hunt alone.

And as always another AWESOME VIDEO Paul.

You're getting real good at drawing rabbits Paul!

So happy! Tough week then a Paul video. Time to relax

You do a great job Paul, thank you. Here's to you! I hope you keep doing what you do here.

Perhaps the best part of this video is that time and again he proves what I've been saying about all of this - without having to go out and waste ammo proving it. Thanks Paul!!!

I'd like to imagine Paul with a brown crayon in his hand coloring those paper bunny targets.

Just goes to show, you can be lost in the woods, but if you have a good ol' .22 rifle you can stay fed (assuming game isn't scarce, of course). Excellent presentation, as always, Paul. Thanks for sharing.

It is rare to come across videos with so much personality, practicality and informativity

Another great show , knowledge is power .

The MAN is back!

A top 5 from Paul, I upvote! I'm a simple man.

Always entertaining and informative
