Many people have commented about my shortcut. Leaving the road and going through the bushes was NOT a shortcut. It made the trip longer. It was about going off road and negotiating obstacles, not about making the trip shorter.
Miss ya Paul. Stoked we can come visit with ya via the internet.
Legend
As they say "Making good decisions comes from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions." I bring zip ties and duct tape too. And I leave a note in my car on the dash with my name, contact, family contact, detailed plans, etc. I fold it with just "Read Me" on the outside. In fact I made a template and printed out a bunch. RIP
Damn I miss Paul. 😢
I wish that Paul could have done a survival series of videos. He would have been very good and could have opened a lot of people's eyes. I would have liked to have seen him demonstratin how to cook wild game like rabbit, bird etc. I'll really miss him. I learned a lot from that young fellow.
I've carried a lensatic compass and map for over 50 yrs.. Sfc.Henry Jones beat that into my head in 1973. I like GPS but still read a map and compass.I carry light weight food and the ability to build a fire. Always carry a very large a light weight tarp. Makes a very good shelter. I'm still alive and kicking… barely ha ha.
15:13 Cargo pockets. Many people do not like adding girth to their otherwise svelte forum. Three things that are practically made for cargo pockets and can make a huge world of difference in a situation like Paul’s story:
•A contractors bag folded and coupled with a space blanket, slid into a 1 quart Ziplock freezer bag
•Glove liners, watchmen cap and a throat buff rolled tightly and slid into a 1 quart Ziplock freezer bag
•A basics survival kit that includes purification tablets, a Bic and a few protein bars. Slid into a 1 quart Ziplock freezer bag.
By cross loading these suggestions along with a few sensible tools on a neck lanyard and a few of the heftier tools on one’s belt, handling an unplanned bivouac (particularly for just a single night) should be no problem. The two suggested types bags have so many applications that even a novice practitioner of outdoor competence will come out with a great cocktail party story
In my older age when l walk unfamiliar woods l often snap small branches and let them hang as l trail in and l can simply follow them on my way out of there.
21:00 I had the same happen to me, in 30 minutes l realized something wasn't right so l turned around and walked 30 minutes back the direction l came, ran into the road and walked back to my car. In question l went down that road l was looking for and found l forgot the road turned gradually away from where l thought the road should have been. I learned always carry a compass in the woods, period.
RIP Paul. ❤️
In rememberence ?
NOBODY TRAKED ME EEEEASY 😂❤miss ya Paul i got lost hunting once i understand your thought process….
😮 what just happened to me. Halfway through and I'm like did I learn something? Yes. People need to learn nav without electronics
an absolute legend. Paul's memory will go on forever
im sure our conversation in the other world will be as legendary as i imagined, we miss you paul.
I have maybe ten very terrifying survival stories from my day. I should have died in all those instances. I didn't. I'm a bit of a legend because of it. That being said, the very nature of what happened each time illustrates that I did not earn the legend status each time. I was lucky.
I'm much smarter now. Back then… I was a fool.
This man is my favorite human discussing my favorite topic. That makes this my favorite video. What's better is that this isn't his expertise.
PS… I love you, late Mr. Harrell.
R.I.P. Paul. Great Video. I watched the anecdote and everything.
the ""We tracked you easily!" got him (understandably) very angry
(waits for the end of the story) this story should be a compass commercial
so this guy is (or was?) the vision of the guns and outdoors and life huh
Subscribed to a dead guy, wondering what the next notification will be
Well now i am wanting to go out before dawn in the rain and try to practice making a fire. Thanks Paul
the guy who gave you the…"we tracked you easy " statement is a moron…you were not trying to NOT be tracked id have told him…well im glad it was easy cus i wasnt trying to cover my tracks if it had been anything BUT easy that would be a sign of your shitty tracking skills and ps..u didnt find me maybe your tracking skills arnt as good as u think lol
R.I.P
Been watching some Paul classics and don't know how I missed this one. Anyone else finding videos they haven't seen? I love "I had a six-pack of pop tarts" so food was covered LOL
Pretty cool – Paul's vids already have the "thumbs up" from the first time I watched them. 🙂 You left your mark, Paul. Well done.
“We tracked you easy!” Will never get old. I just remembered that quote during my day and had to find the video. Your work is inspiring. RIP ❤
This is the best.
Paul Harrell's opinions are golden.
Miss you, Paul.
and what about a cell phone??.. and .. u knew what 2 do ,… and didnt panic…
1970s plaid suit jacket at the beginning. Very cool BEN. Rip
You can tell he was an educated man by the way he can articulate words, Rest in peace !
Yeah we all know they rescued you. 😂
RIP Paul. We love you.
Anyone happen to know what kind of chest rig Paul has?
Miss you Paul,GOD have mercy on you,We love you,The SULLIVAN family.
After seeing this video a few years ago. I decided we needed to take a couple mile hike around our local community park. After about 3x around the 1.2 mile trail. We discovered we had too much weight in some of the B.O.B. We then went home took inventory and replaced some of the single function items, for multi purpose items. We also found some light weight options for other items. We also spent many, many, many hours practicing starting fires without using matches, or a lighter. In fact when we start a fire in the fire pit, we never use matches, a lighter, or any flammable liquid. Everyone should learn how to start, and build a fire.
Thanks Paul, you are missed. 😞
