Since Paul failed to explain his hip injury and given the fact that he's releasing an instructional video on combatting vampires, I think it's fair to assume he broke his hip while eliminating a den of vampires. None of them got to him, he just slipped on all the blood. Edit: I know what happened to Paul and followed his channel the entire time. I was just trying to be cheerful and bring in a little humor back when I thought there was still hope that he would bounce back. RIP Paul, and thanks for everything.
"today we're going to demonstrate how to use a walking stick as a makeshift club for defensive purposes, so here's a bunch of watermelons, let's give it a try." And about a year later the field is overgrown with watermelon vines.
Man shot a joke video to brighten people's mood with a broken hip. Paul Harrell achieved mythical status in my eyes. Thank you, and Happy Halloween from across the ocean.
It all makes sense now. About a week ago on a vampire sightings group I lurk on I read an account of a vampire that visited the dentist. When the dentist tried to use his mirror to see the back side of his teeth there was no reflection. At this point the vampire freaked out and attacked the dentist. Hearing the noise another member of the staff burst into the room, realizing the assailant was a vampire he took the jar of tongue depressors, broke one into a point and fought the vampire until the vampire leaped out the window with 13 tongue depressors sticking out of his chest. The employee was injured in the scuffle... he is recovering from his broken hip but wishes to remain anonymous. Hey I'm not saying the hero in the story above was Paul but I am saying true heroes don't toot their own horn either and Paul did say "don't ask". But that does give me some insight on the topic of today's video as well. I'm glad you didn't get bit Paul and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Bravo, Squirlly. That is the best explanation that could have been true. Fantastic. The legend of Paul grows. Even Chuck Norris couldn't have a story that fitting.
OK, as a Romanian, I feel I am uniquely qualified to offer advice on this matter. We here in Romania have largely eradicated the vampire threat by religiously consuming large quantities of shawarma with everything and extra garlic sauce. In fact, the Romanian garlic sauce called mujdei's discovery is credited with Dracula's ill fated decision to relocate to London, England (a country where food with any sort of taste was forbidden at the time). Joking aside, thank you for the laughs sir, and we wish you a speedy recovery
You know damn well Shawarma isn't a native cuisine in Romania. That comes from all the brown people living in your country. It's a luxury encountered latenight after a pub crawl. I just spend 2 weeks in Ploiesti/Bucharest and ate nothing but Ceafa de porc and Sarmale.
We all know he broke his hip defeating a vampire lord, but was too humble to say so. Saint Paul decided to humor us mere mortals with a hypothetical situation so we would not feel bad 😇
I loved the Vampire Meat Target (VMT). The added Heart is an absolute bonus. You did quite well with the arrows considering the obvious wind problems. We learn why primitives developed poisoned arrows. What was with the Yellow Jacket wasps. Were they attracted to the bright colours on the VMT? Get well soon, we know there are now layers of health problems but your still somehow in remarkably good spirits. Were always rooting for you Down Under.
In the autumn, yellow jackets are notorious for scavenging fruit and other sweet things. The nests are ready to die for the winter but the queens must be fed before they hibernate, methinks.
Nobody gets to live forever. Paul, at least, when he goes, leaves behind his some of his knowledge for everybody to find on RU-vid. Part of him gets to live forever on earth in the minds of the people he influenced.
I'll tell you it's hard to believe he broke a hip I'm 73 years old and I didn't have a broken head but I got a brand new titanium hip in there and I loved it but I was walking pretty bad there for the longest time but I'm okay now but yeah I'm so glad that he's okay and he's up and up and running and this thing about vampires I I cast bullets part-time and some people came to me few years ago and one of those make some silver bullets to kill a werewolf or a vampire and I said I never have done that before but I'll try it so it took two of us to try it with our moles and we finally got the heat just right and the temperature of the moles just right and so we cast some real silver bullets and we loaded them up for a 9 mm and I gave them to him in a presentation box and they were just as happy as everybody take Care happy Halloween and Paul please be careful
Not seen many other guntubers to stand in heavy rain front of camera and be like it is fine summerday. That takes some dedication. That alone make me rise his status as guntuber much higher than many others with even with 10x budget.
How do you quantify how awesome Paul Harrell is? The man fractures his hip a week ago and today he's holding a master class on killing vampires...all with a straight face. I love Paul Harrell!!!!
Makes sense though. 30 pounds is like the bare minimum for technical effectiveness against an unarmored person. I mean you arguably COULD kill someone with a 20 pound bow but they’d have to essentially be willing, and 45 pounds is the the “ideal minimum” which balances minimum draw weight with as much power as possible.
Paul Harrell. What a legend! Breaking his hip while live combating vampires doing research for us on how to kill them... A hero we dom't deserve but definitely crave!
The fact that Scott from Kentucky Ballistics AND Paul Harrel both put out a video about vampire defense is very telling of our time. Remember, kids. You can call the Frog Brothers and it may take some time before they get to you, but you are your first line of defense. Get those stakes ready, fill those bath tubs with holy water and garlic, and don't invite strangers into your home.
Totally fun fact, the Swedish Mausers were made to be trained with wooden bullets and a muzzle device. If you don't screw on the muzzle device, then you have a firearm that shoots wooden bullets though fairly inaccurately. Last I saw, the surplus training ammo is readily available though they do have corrosive primers. I suppose any 6.5 Swedish chambered rifle could fire the cartridges as well. Hope your hip heals up fast. Godspeed and God bless, Paul.
Since Paul refuses to tell us how he injured his hip and this IS the Internet, you know what we have to do, boys. It's time for Wild Speculation. My theory is that Mr. Harrell came across a young man who was being attacked by a cougar. Paul, being a brave and kind soul, stepped in to defend this young man. Due to his wisdom, Paul knew that this cougar was best dealt with not by way of a firearm, but with a sugary, alcoholic drink. The young man was able to escape the cougar's claws, but that left Paul in the cougar's grasp instead. He defended himself quite vigorously and was ultimately able to sate the cougar and escape, but not without injury.
This is one of those extremely rare times I wish YT had more than a "thumbs up" selection. As many years as I've watched Paul, this one ranks right up there with his best in my opinion. I enjoyed the hell out of this, simply put. Prayers continue for your recovery on now *both* your maladies, sir - and thanks as always. - Ed on the Ridge
Hey Paul, glad to see that despite everything you're still going strong. I can't speak for anyone but myself but if you're ever trying to come up with ideas during your recovery, I know I'd sure love to hear some of those boring tedious anecdotes you always threaten us with. Get well soon!
Just wanted to point out a wooden stake through the heart may kill a vampire, but it also kills any other animal (including the two legged variety) as well.
Just need a purple coat, feathered hat, gold jewelry and a lavishly decorated 70s muscle car with that cane and you'll become Pimp Daddy Paul. Jokes aside, i wish you a fast and complete recovery
I love these holiday specials so much, my social circle doesn't really do much for many of those days (and my family has recently been collapsing a little), and it's so nice to have a community to sit in while enjoying some of the holiday fun
Now this is the kind of life-saving information that I come to Paul's channels for! And right in time for my upcoming trip to Romania too!. Thank you, Mr Harrell! 😊
Been here for many years. Since it was a 'small' channel. Seen some wonderful things and could not imagine how it could get any better. Then, ladies and gents, Paul started singing.
According to the story the vampire was not harmed by sunlight but lost his powers, so was just like the rest of us and easy to kill too. The stake has to go through the heart to kill him though. You are right about the metal on the stake or arrow will negate its effect and there are specific woods to use on top of it. Love the story at the end of vid:)
Mr. Harrell, another great video as always! I'm sorry to hear that you've broken your hip. Please take it as easy as you can. Rest up, and no videos until you feel etter!
This episode was supposed to be how to kill a warewolf but he accidentally did it off camera and broke his hip. He had to come up with a last minute new plan but no vampires would show up after they heard about the demise of the original guest.
Paul, you are by miles my favorite. The fact that you still released a episode with a broken hip illustrates your commitment to your true fans. Thank you Paul I really do look forward to your content.🤝
Thank you Paul for this timely video. I have a neighbor that I'm almost certain is a vampire! My original plan was to create an elaborate trap and then stake him out in the sunlight, but now I think I'll create some hunting tips from petrified wood. That should work! I know he's a vampire because I never see him except when he leaves in the evening, (and he's always back home before sunrise). The only other time I've encountered him is when I go to the local carry out, where he's the night manager... Oooh, never mind.
The ballad section was unexpected in the extreme. For the correct traditional vampire lore, read Bram Stoker then watch Coppola’s movie of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Make use to have a large Bowie or Khukri knife with you at all times. The head of a vampire must be cut off! Speedy healing Mr. Harrell. May your intentions be just and your aim remain true.
God bless and God speed Mr Harrell. Thank you for finding new ways to cheer us up, no matter what is happening. You are a strong and determined lesson in living a quality life. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤🙏
You are a better man than me Paul. Both times I recovered from orthopedic surgery I sat in the recliner milkshake in hand and enjoyed the vicodin. I started to participate in life after about day 8-9. I wear a crucifix for this very reason. I can quickly poke it out between my shirt buttons whenever I need to ward off a vampire. I am happy to report I have escaped being bitten so far.
Paul, this one is genius. Pure and simple genius. When you got to the question of whether a wooden arrowhead would work, I was laughing. You are the best!
Dude, legendary 🤣 I've never broken my hip but I did snap my femur in half so the fact that you made this video a week out from injury definitely gains you my admiration. You sir are a legend of a man, Happy Halloween Paul.
Another awesome Holiday special to share with the family!!! You Rock that cane well Paul! May All the healing mojo from Hattie's brew go into your hip.
Really appreciate the holiday special presentations. Who else would make a vampire meat target ? Love the Thanksgiving cooking special. Halloween & Easter offer interesting topics for shooting unusual targets. Here's wishing you fair winds & calm seas on your journey. Happy Halloween !!!
Please do take care of yourself, Mr. Harrell. Hope you get better really soon. Thank you for your videos, for sharing your knowledge with everybody,... and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Paul this was brilliant and your delivery was fantastic! It came across with your usual professionalism and seriousness despite the Halloween themed topic. It seemed genuinely instructional! Thank you. I needed this. May God bless you with a full recovery from the hip and the thing we are not mentioning.
Sweet video Paul. Happy Halloween 🎃! Just FYI, I’m week four after a right hip replacement surgery and I feel awesome- no pain and I’m beginning to hike again. I had it done by ROC Orthopedic in Oregon City. Have a great week! 😊
I use custom made 45 ACP ammo for vampires. It consists of the 185 grain Winchester Silvertip hollow point, the hollow cavity filled with holy water and sealed with a thin plastic plug. The bullet enters the chest or abdomen of Dracula, the plastic is driven into the hollow cavity filled with holy water, the bullet expands and spreads the holy water through the wound. This causes Dracula to melt from the inside out. It's highly effective against vampires and, being a Silvertip, also works well on werewolves. 😁😁😁
What you really need is cold iron core silver metal jacket as all-purpose round for most magic based or fey related creature. While neither is effective in actually killing either, they usually do a fairly good job of slowing down the charge of what is coming giving you enough time to switch to whichever weapon you need provided you have what you're looking for in your spacial storage. Unless you've pissed off a gargoyle. Then you're just *%@ed...
Thank you paul, while exploring the woods with the standard bells and pepper spray setup my uncle unfortunately fell victim to a vampire that was outside of its feeding cycle Ill make sure to follow your teaching to heart
I'm glad you clarified that was a fly around the camera and not you using alien technology to propel those wooden skewers through the air. Thanks for overcoming your injury to manufacture more content. Please take care and get well! Sorry to be a critical but I really couldn't hear your ghost story.
