Just saw this and I was asking myself what's wrong with him. He looks wrong. Googled it and he has pancreatic cancer. Survival odds are not good and it looks like he's losing the fight. Too bad, he made great videos and seems like a genuine good guy.

 

I think he actually looked worse a few months ago in a video with Garand Thumb.

 

Another excellent video from Paul Harrell, et al. I'll miss Paul Harrell, his video portfolio is outstanding, IMO.

 

One of my favorite YouTubers I watch regularly. Pancreatic cancer is bad. It got my mom and my brother in law.

 

Cool video. I'm glad to see Paul is still getting around. But did he just flip off everyone at the 3:21 mark? Lol.

 

He does that often. I asked AI why he does it and this was the response:

Paul Harrell gives the middle finger sometimes in his videos as a way to express his frustration or anger. He also uses it as a way to show that he is not taking himself too seriously.

 

I always thought it was pronounced 'cash', or maybe they're just joking around?
Always liked his videos, cancer sucks.

 

Cash is the correct pronunciation. Many people get it wrong.

Cache is also a computer term and if you work in that field and pronounce it "cashay" you will get some weird looks.

 

Internet troll. Nice post of this video I really learned a lot a real lot. It really was nice to see the snow and forest conditions as well. Very close to my terrain which has very wet forest ground and a fluctuating water table and frozen as well. Personally my plan shtf wise is to stay at my property and survive but like all scenarios ya need several fallback plans and this in particular was super helpful. I’d like to do the same deeper in woods on my own property in the event of being overrun or potential of confiscation. Having a few toys and supplies I could stalk my invaders for a week or so to understand their habits and weaknesses to get back what was mine. As well was totally impressed with longevity of mres buried and the fact rifle and ammo was in great condition. I’ve found another thing to add to my to do list Thank you again

 

Well, if anyone has a hankering for burying their stuff, here ya go.

I'm preparing a pair of them for gear storage in the spare tire well underneath the truck - a pair unitized together fit perfectly - the OEM hand crank winch for the spare lowers & raises for access ......

 

The toaster pastry part brought tears to my eyes. Paul is the best.

 

Yep, I actually watched that part twice.

Same way my father died in 1987

 

The contents where in impressivly like new condition. I figured there would be atleast a little rust on the gun.

 

Yes, and especially since gun was not covered in silicone sock or lube/cosmoline.

 

I'm glad the gun was in good shape. Rossi doesn't offer those anymore per their website. I looked last night. I thought one might be good to have but they are gone now.

 

I got one of those Rossi's in 22/.410 about 25 years ago for my grandson. He's now 8 and loves it.

 

Too bad Rossi doesn't offer a 22/410 combo anymore. Thats the one I would want. But one of the TPS over/under has my interest right now. If i could ever decide on the caliber for the rifle barrel I would buy one. They come in 22lr, 22 mag, 17HMR, 357 mag and 22 Hornet. all over a 410 barrel that takes screw in chokes. If they can shoot they would make a decent truck or backpack/woods gun.

 

I'd think those Rossi combo's would sell good,I looked pretty hard several years ago for a youth Trifecta with .243,20guage,.22 rather then .223,410,.22 for my daughter, after lot of searching a NOS popped up on GunBroker, I bought it at reasonable price but considerably more then the 223,410 ones.
I will say the 20 gauge is not a beginner shotgun that lil buger slaps you pretty hard,I have a older Rossi 20guage youth with wooden stock that doesn't feel any heavier then daughters plastic stock but it doesn't slap nearly as bad.

 

That was interesting yet very hard to watch seeing Paul in such terrible condition...

 

I don’t know Paul’s service history, but he does hold the CIB.
Perhaps his cancer was caused by toxic substances in the military.
I’m of the Vietnam/Agent Orange time frame, so I darn sure don’t trust our government.

 

Maybe I missed it in the video, but was there an extra seal on that ammo can in addition to,
or in replacement of, the stock seal? And no desiccant or similar?

 

Lucky I would say, the condition of the contents.
Quite surprised one would pack cotton scarf, firearm, ammo, knife, etc...
NOT in an additional 'zip-loc' bag for protection.
Never mind the absence of protective lube.
I would even lube the ext of military ammo box with linseed oil if I could not seal in boat plastic wrap.
Linseed oil protects my wheelbarrow a couple years before needing another application.
Boat wrap plastic heat seals and allows easier extraction from soil later.

That packing was for someone coming in already prepared.
No water filter, not even a folding stove or cooking container.
Such things that can be filled with other items already there, but give options.
Water bottle was not stainless and empty.
Could have been filled with meds/flint/the knife etc, rather than not utilizing its interior.
All the space consumed by firearm purse is horrific. triple vacuum bag it instead.
No cash, silver, compass, 1st aid, shelter, clothing, hatchet/saw/ax, etc
Should have been two containers for sincere cache I dare say.
Long way to go for some snacks.
I mean really.
Great experiment though, as that was it.
