I am an old cop, who worked as a gunsmith on the side. I can assure you there was indeed a single shot "revolver" it was built as a target pistol by Colt in the early 1900's. The cylinder was not round as most, but pretty much flat with the frame, it would "revolve" to insert the round then go back into battery for the single shot at the target. It was a slick looking unit based on the Bisley frame and was said to be a tack driver by those who invested in one for their target shooting. Where there needed to be a fairly good gap for the cylinder on a revolver, this unit had a very tight fit to insure better velocity of the round and the flat piece where the cylinder would have been was very solid in comparison to the revolver version of the firearm.
Oh wow! I just found this station last night. Sharp wit with a sharp tongue. Not afraid to use sarcasm and humor. Thank you. I normally skip the commercials during the show but for you I don't mind listening to them if it helps you gain revenue.
You truly do have the best Wild West channel on RUclips! You have proved the average working man can produce better content than many who have a PhD’s! God bless you, and keep up the good work!
Lake city Colorado (which is right by lake Sancristoball on the Gunnison) has a pizza place called "Packers" where you can have "The Packer special" made with "Al's 5 favorite kinds of meat." Yeah I kinda lost my appetite a little when I saw that on the menu.
I believe he found himself in a rough situation and decided to hunt his fellow man. I believe he killed more than Bell, based on what you've mentioned of his past behavior. Seems consistent with his pattern of sociopathic thinking. I further believe that he continued to insist on his semi-innocence because he couldn't even acknowledge to himself the horror of what he had done, and of what he really was, deep in the quick of him. You may indeed be right that he killed one of them only, but I would not excuse him due to insanity. He was capable of rational thought and attempted to conceal his crime(s). Sociopathy isn't the kind of insanity that excuses a crime, especially a crime like this.
I was laughing my ass off when you started talking about not liking the cold as you get older. I split my time between CA and my house in Colorado Springs. When I was in CO this past Nov - Jan, I was freezing my ass off. And I am a guy who spent 2 and half years in Korea (it gets very cold there!) but ...I was much (much) younger. Great episode!
R David I'm a California native too, spending most of my time either in Marysville, Roseville, or the Bay Area. I was with the 1/9th Inf at Camp Greaves back in 79-80, and our DMZ mission was from November to the end of February, so I spent quite a few nights either on the south barrier fence, or at GP's Collier & Oullette freezing my nuggets off. Brother it was COLD !
Your videos are awesome, I really enjoy yoru style of story telling with a bit of comedy sprinkled in. Keep it up man and thanks for the great content!
At least the tattooist didn't misspell his last name as "Pecker". You do know there is a diner on the UC campus at Boulder named The Alfred Packer Grill. I ate there a few times during my last sojourn across the country in the '70's but found nothing unusual about the food.
There was a Federal building that named their cafeteria after him as well. That is until it was found out what his “claim to fame” was. It was renamed shortly thereafter. I mentioned this in a previous thread were I encouraged a story about this and somebody called BS. I sure hope that he reads this. Cheers. 🇨🇦
Hey man, I've subscribed and I've been listening to multiple of your videos.. love them.. I was gonna tell you about cannibal the musical but you just mentioned it lol.. I've been laughing this whole video and my wife thinks I'm deranged now lol.. I just wanted to make sure you knew the movie existed.. great stuff.. keep it up 👍
Love the way you tell your podcasts the wacky banter proper entertaining . Stories never heard before there well good Love to buy you a coffee anytime your in London 😜
Dear WWE (not the Undertaker wrestler with a tombstone kind) I want to say thank you for doing these videos on the Wild West. I'm English but I was born on the 4th July. No joke. I was. That and the fact I've always felt akin to America is why I feel more American than British or English. These tales of the Wild West need to be kept alive in the same way the Native Americans pass down their history by word alone. The Wild West forged America in the way the Victorians of old London forged my birth country. But Americana and America are truly free. A free equalled in it's beauty with it's violence.
Just watched this for the second time. Great video. But if you were a motorcycle rider from Louisiana you’d love Arkansas just like I do. Thanks for the great work
That guy doesn't deserve sympathy. He lured those men to their deaths. There is a movie loosely based on this story called Ravenous and it's pretty good.
I love the lengthy tangent on the legality of cannibalism. Also just a couple years ago a Grand Junction Colorado funeral home was busted for illegally selling the bodies without consent of the families.
Imagine the types of people looking to buy body parts…. Why? For what? It is not a bag of weed or something simple to find on the black market. Lol where would you even meet someone that has the in for body parts. Creepy as hell.
I'm 40 years old and my parents would say this when I was a kid. I don't remember if they ever gave it to us but I know I've heard both my parents say they use to be give Castor oil on many of occasions
Getting old isn't for wempt. I lived in Dillon Colo. Last year I lived there, woke up on the 4th of July with 4 in of snow on the ground. Dillon is about 10 miles across lake Dillon from Breckinridge at about 9600 ft elevation.
We had a butcher here back in the 30's who killed his wife and the tinker who he found her in bed with. He butchered both and ground them up mixing their flesh with pork and sold the meat in town as sausage. It was discovered when a lady was eating the sausage and found a long fingernail from the woman in her sausage patty. Those who had the sausage said it was good sausage so I guess it does sort of taste like pork.
Castor Oil... My Grandpa used to say if you ain't hungry after a day's work you must be sick so a dose of Castor Oil will fix you right up.. Trust me... my appetite greatly improved from then on no matter how hungry I wasn't!!
I do believe the reason why the judge would reapeat hung until dead three times is that the hangman had three chances to try to hang a prisoner. There is a story in Canada of a prisoner who was sentenced to hang. The first try the trap door wouldn't open. They removed him and tested the trap door and it worked. They tried again and the trap door wouldn't open. Again they teated it and it worked. On the third try, no surprise, the trap door didn't open and the prisoner was consequently released.
There s also a temporal lobe type epilepsy &migraine combined where they can have see bright lights as your friend had,or called an aura. I hope you wont confuse the word cavalry with a more solemn word,cavalry where your Saviour &mine died for a debt He didnt owe. Dont confuse those please. DrBob😊
I love your channel ma man. I’m working just outside Inverness. When I finish on a Friday and make the 210 mile drive back to Glasgow I put on the channel and listen away. I enjoy the puns and don’t give a f**k about the cussin as every second work you hear in Glasgow is a profanity of some sort. All the best sir 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Union troops occupied Nashville shortly after the battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February of 1862 and held it until the end of the war. There were several Federal forts that ringed the city.
Just a thought, do you have an Amazon gift account with books on it we can buy for you to make podcasts on? Or do you prefer donations via your coffee thing? Thinking about it, the books you want to make podcasts might not always be available on Amazon.
When u got to the pt of Alfreds death I was left hanging - i really thought u were going to say Alfred packed up and moved to the spirit realm or something like that. My theory is that after gettin 'leaded' 2 many times, his boozing and brawling not helping either - all this led to a thunderstorm in his mind the very worst case for someone w epilepsy as a result of the poor conditions - this along with the poor choices made leading to starvation would have caused the storms of electrical charge to dampen his grip fog his focus and loose control of the tenuous hold on his sanity he had left - thats his state of mind which was probably playing tricks on him w audio if not visual hallucinations and a paranoid fear that he must get the others before they get him - wasnt too hard on him bc AP had enough of these pansies crap talking down on him, bustin his chops, shunning him etc - the perferct storm of crae

By the way, Harmann from my home town of Hannover disposed all his victims in our river Leine. It was never explicitely proven he made human flesh sausages, it was just said they were secured "just to be sure...". It was never said he also ate his victims.
Our line of thinking is the same concerning waitstaff and so forth. The easy I look at it they are doing something I couldn’t/ wouldn’t do myself so for that alone they deserve my courtesy.
Considering the mormans didn't get to ut till 1847 and gold at Bingham was discovered by solgers that had invaded utah in 1858 and maybe mid 1870s before large scale mining took place.
Did you ever watch ravenous yet? Im epileptic. Sucks ass just started out of nowhere at 38 years old. Have a seizure once a month ish. Cant drive my truck anymore which pisses me off. Chewing ur tonge to shreds sucks but its a good workout.
I’m curious if there’s any information on the way the men where killed I think it might help paint a better picture of what happened if they all had Blows to the head and a shot to bell it’s hard to believe you could kill all the men up close like that without being over powered
Never seen such a clear photo of Alfred Packer before. I’ve seen this photo before, but never this large and clear and fresh looking. He looks a tad like Manson - and I find that creepy and disturbing. Just saying is all.
New sub from your Quanah P. Story! Oh my God the 1st time I've ever found your Podcast! Your Filipino slurs had me rolling... Not that I'd ever utter a racial slur... But I hope most people can enjoy a good joke! About to binge watch, thank you!
I don't know if this is true or not but back when I was in law school another student asked that question & professor said back then the stated that if the hung you and you didn't they had 3 tries to get it right josh if you find out that is wrong please let me know by replying here
Lake City is really cool to visit! You should really try to go there sometime! I went in the summer, and it gets a little cold at night, but it’s not terrible at all. The courthouse in Lake City that he was tried in is still in operation. And it’s also featured in Cannibal the Musical, by Trey Parker. And don’t forget to get a *bite* at the Cannibal Grill! 😂 There is some beautiful scenery there as well, Lake San Cristobal is a gorgeous area. ❤
Yeah, Packer took the entirely wrong route if he was heading near Breck. Just follow the damn Colorado(Grand) River. He went entirely way too far south.
I would assume at first he wanted to be in on a new strike with these would be prospectors. I think he wanted to rob the final 5 after being scorned during the trip, & probably did kill them, then ate their frozen meat when the provisions ran out. But what the hell would I know?
Finally Josh,for a whole long weird story of killings&eating each other,would you consider something not touched on at all!aborted fetuses!Were these human beings,or not worh consideratiin too?😮
This was awesome Lots of civil war action in TN Nashville fell easily after battle of Franklin Nov 1 1864 John Bell Hood was decommissioned shortly there after
My best friend this is his great relative on his dads side boone helm read the newpaper at there family reunion and on his moms side his great grandfather was war eagle that made souix city iowa theres a statue thats his grave over souix city iowa highway just look up war eagle statue
Though his name was spelled wrong, the tattoo was actually a pretty smart idea. How else would you identify someone who's dead or unable to identify themselves, before the military adopted dog tags? Still sound like a dumb idea?
Another fine episode good sir. I'll have to say people who treat others like crap to either make themselves feel better, or cause they think they got more junk are empty vessels. Now, how is the ever living f**k is cannibalism not illegal?

It's called a colt camp perry
Are you sure you're not referring to the Ruger Hawkeye?
Colt Camp Perry. I've seen them covered on Forgotten Weapons
Fantastic episode. Really well told and presented. You mentioned Cannibal. I'll raise with Ravenous.

Yeah, Packer took the entirely wrong route if he was heading near Breck. Just follow the damn Colorado(Grand) River. He went entirely way too far south.
I'd assume, if he really had seizures that often, the CO's saw it before they could put him in the fight. He most likely never saw actual combat.
Calvary it reads, not cavalry,also called Golgotha outside Jerusalem
I know, i just can't say it right
I would assume at first he wanted to be in on a new strike with these would be prospectors. I think he wanted to rob the final 5 after being scorned during the trip, & probably did kill them, then ate their frozen meat when the provisions ran out. But what the hell would I know?
First time I heard of Alfred Packer was a dedication to him by Cannibal Corpse on Butchered at Birth album...
I remember that band from i was a youth but that i dont remember cool✌🏻
What’s the intro songs name?
I think it's just called western
Good job 👍 u hilarious and good content👀
A part obtained from the body part trade is not something you should eat. The parts are treated with embalming agents.
I wonder if any of these doll houses still exist. How much could I sell it for? 🤔

Sounds like you and the judge have a lot in common! You like to hear your own voice and go on aimlessly
I'm sorry that you're going through whatever you're going through
If Packer was troubled and pushed to limits, Boone Helm was a complete nutcase. Check him out. Definitely podcast material
Yeah, I did one on him a long time ago. Definitely a crazy dude
I am directly related to him By his younger brother and I love telling people about him
“Salt lake soaker” “Mormon marinaters” 😭😭😭😭
Yeah Packer was strictly self serve. No obnoxious waiters necessary.
Probably what the movie Ravenous was based on.
