Some people have erroneously posted on line that I'm "stage four" I am NOT. It was caught very early and I'm going to be here for a long time. I posted this video for two reasons: 1) to head off comments telling me I look tired/bad/etc. 2) to get out in front of the lies stalkers will tell.
Hey Paul, it’s none of our business but thank you for letting us know. Most folks here just want to support you, because we appreciate your contribution to the community of firearm enthusiasts.
It’s unfortunate that you were forced to share so many personal things with us because of some crazy people who peddle misinformation. God be with you.
seeing all the people referring to him as Dad tears me up, but yet I can see why they are doing it! tears as in 😥, not tears as in to pull apart (to be clear)
especially with the diagnosis being as severe as it is. pancreatic cancer is a life stopping event what with the survival rate and life expectancy after finding it.
“I’m getting stalked by an ex from back when we invaded Panama, so I have to let you know I have cancer, don’t worry about it” lol you’re the best Paul, never change
Panama Invasion. Long forgotten by most. I've always wondered what possessed a group of junior officers who should have known better to go out on the town. Things were tense enough even in July 1989 that we weren't allowed to leave Rodman unless it was on the little jitney bus that went back and forth between the bases. Options were to be on a US base, on the jitney in transit between bases, or on the ship. I'm afraid that Rodman Panama didn't quite make my top ten list of awesome places to go pierside for a week.
From the crew I will say THANK YOU for all the kind words and support. We will ride this ride as long as Paul allows us to. Again, THANK YOU and here is to many more videos. ❤
Ive been a lingerer for a while, i just subscribed, Mr.Paul reminds me of my dad, stubborn. Dad beat throat cancer and lived several years cancer free. He passed last fall while deer hunting, he had an aneurysm. We will be hanging in there with Mr. Paul for years to come Im certain
Roy, how do we say 'Good Luck!' to the man who doesn't want to hear it? Please pass on my very best wishes in whatever is the appropriate way. I won't contact him directly but my silence does not mean I don't care.
Was a difficult video to watch and sad news. I wish Paul hadn't gone into details about being tormented by an ex; it gives her a presence (unwanted) when she should be invisible to the public. Wishing Paul, the Harrell family and crew all the best. You've built an amazing channel and loyal viewers. I see this story also popping up on twitter on the past few hours.
My hero. I didn't have much of a father to speak of. Other than the donation he provided to the egg to become my father. Drugs, alcohol, other unknown children he fathered. Thank you, Paul for being the father I wish I had.
“I most certainly do not need any advice on the healing powers of crystals or green tea.” Jesus I had forgotten how much I respect this man. Words to live by right there.
I dunno. Crystals CAN make you happy. In my younger years I discovered that spending a few hours spent digging, scrubbing, and polishing resulted in chunks of quartz that people would pay absurd amounts of money for. Collecting said absurd amounts of money consistently gave me feelings of happiness and general well being. Crystals DO work!
@@TJ-bg4fw if you gonna bring politics in here you'll turn this into a pointless discussion and Paul would certainly give both of us a angry look for being so annoying in his comment section
I feel that anyone who would “jump ship” and abandon you for health reasons is a substandard human being. I look forward to watching your videos for years to come sir. 🇺🇸
I am an RN and I work with people who have had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer on a weekly basis. You have the attitude of a survivor and a logical mindset. In my experience, people like you fare better. I trust you will find experts that treat your specific problem on a weekly basis. Godspeed your recovery.
Guys, I thought Paul said he really didn't want medical advice or sympathy or donations or such. I'm sure he's not such a curmudgeon as to call anyone on it individually. But my middle name is curmudgeon.
Attitude does a lot for health in general. Ever see those kinds of people who end up living well past a hundred? They're typically all people who really enjoy living life, bitter and miserable people who aren't happy and who don't enjoy anything don't really get themselves there.
My father is a pancreatic cancer survivor and my wife is a double whammy kidney and endocrin cancer survivor. I wish you strength and good fortune, take care of yourself💯
It's about 1 year later after this video and the announcement that he has passed was just published. I came here as a way to sort of remember paul as he was and not how he looked moments before death. I think we all deserve dignity in our memory and I'm doing my best to honor his. It's also striking how relatively healthy he looks here, hug and care for the ones you've got because our time is short.
Well said. Revisiting a lot of his videos, the information will always be good but it’s oddly… I don’t know, comforting. Tone, cadence, never treated a weapon like a toy. But funny. I can’t but wonder what happened that made this lady so damn mad she’s stalking him decades later.

On a side note, as a personal trainer, i always found it inspiring that you are actually in such great shape. Those "baggy"clothes hide some serious results of discipline and consistency. Cancer chose a seriously tough opponent to battle.
A few videos back when Paul was explaining why he dresses the way he does and at the end threw that kick over the hood of his jeep I was impresses. Most people half his age can't lift their leg that high nor have that level of balance.
@@redtiger7268 I know it was a while back, but I'm willing to bet he still looks the same, there was a video of Paul standing in a body of water shirtless and had pecs like he added his OWN level 3 body armor to his pectoral girdle. I'm a powerlifter and an exercise physiologist, I can say with authority, that guy's a HORSE!
I've never wanted a video to be an April Fool's joke more than this one, but I recognize it is NO joke at all. Wishing you all peace and health, Paul. Thank you for all you do.
Paul Harrell. Walks on water, swims on land. Feeds the Navy Seals. Shoots eleven targets with ten shots and nine rounds. Speaks Russian in French. Thanks for all you’ve done, and all you do.
Hey Paul, none of us are jumping ship. In fact, I would be very surprised if your channel did not grow as a result of your openness. Watching you tackle this issue with grace, resolve, and courage is a huge example to the rest of us. Hang in there and know we're all behind you.
@@joewatts2940 This is just me assuming with literally no proof. But when he first said that there were chat rooms he was obviously not a part of it made me immediately think of fetish chat rooms or something similar. I'm pretty sure its just a way of implicitly saying that without explictly saying it
Hey Paul, most likely no one will read this but I never had a dad or any positive male role model in my life. You and a handful of other men on RUclips have taught me a lot. It sucks to hear you’re not well. I’m sure the cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Thanks for everything sir.
Paul, for many years now you have stood as a beacon of knowledge within this community and have taught us all so much. For all that time you were behind us, in return we will always be forever thankful for you and all you have done. I believe I can speak for us all when I say this: Thank you, Paul Harrell. We will stand with you forever.
That's awesome, brother! People all around me are getting cancer and it scares the crap out of me. Your story is amazing and gives me hope that there's always a chance of pulling through with some "can-do" attitude! Peace and God bless!
I feel confident in what Paul has taught me and everyone else. He is the most entertaining gun instructor on you tube. His videos will last well into the future.
Man, this is rough. I feel like an old friend of mine is sick, and I have never met you. I am sending prayers your way, that's what everyone here needs to do.
Yea man, he had me laughing about half way through and the only thing I could think gotta be praying for this dude 😂That ending was hilarious, seeing as my hair started dropping in my early 20's
Exactly, even watching this now and hearing him say he doesn't want any sympathy or even mentions of it, like that's fine, it shows how strong he is, and it reminds us that we are all just online viewers who don't know him personally, but I think it's crazy to not say anything because this is as serious as it can get, if I'm being honest. This is, in all likelihood, a terminal diagnosis, and this is his whole life we're talking about! Even the strongest people deserve some support when it gets this tough and I just hope he has that support in his personal life.
Dear Mr. Harrell - you are one in a million, and we're all supporting you. You've given such good information and commentary to all of us, that we're grateful. Thank you Sir.
Paul--to quote one of my fitness heroes--Mike Mentzer--"If I could explain the actions of irrational people then they wouldn't be irrational". Sorry to hear you're dealing with the double whammy of extreme human cruelty and severe illness. If anyone screams basic decency through word and deed it is you. You have all of our support, love and prayers.
I feel sorry for Paul's cancer cause it must be terrified that it's going to come down with the worst case of Paul doctors have ever seen! Just keeping it light and love you, man. You got this.
Fuck cancer. I miss all the good people in and around my life that have been taken by it. Paul, I wish you had more time than what was given to you, but I'm greatful for the time you had and good works you did.
I am a fan, a physician, and a shooter since I was 8 years old (I am now 57). I don't "follow" RUclipsrs, so I just occasionally watch your videos and thoroughly enjoy them when I see them. I will not offer sympathy, medical advice, or other such things that you clearly don't need or want. Your contributions are valuable and appreciated, that is my opinion and my observation. I perceive you to be a man of solid integrity and character. I wish you well and hope I run into more of your presentations in the near future.
Being a nurse I wonder if any of this has to do with lead exposure as I've heard of personal gun range owners that had lead levels checked and they were very high.
Getting invested in the personal lives of total strangers is an unfortunate side effect of the interconnectedness of the modern world. Best to care more about the people we actually have the ability to help, and less about celebrities (major or minor). We trick ourselves into thinking we know these people whose videos we watch, music we listen to, books we read, or whatever other media, but we don't know them at all.
You have been nothing but a professional and source for amazing information for years. Thank you for everything you have done for our community sir. I stand with you and wish nothing but the best for you and your health sir.
Nothing drives our enemies more crazy than being successful. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all of this Paul. Rest assured you're in everyone's prayers. With a speedy recovery on the horizon.
Oh man its 09 Oct 2024, and I'm finding this out :( Farewell Paul Harrell, Peace be with you, family and friends. Thanks for your expertise, humor . Love you man, God bless you.
Paul's grasp on reality and his practical down to earth view on things including himself always make me smile. Not going anywhere Paul.. Just glad to see you still doing you.
Paul speaks better than anyone I've met in two countries and a decade in corporate. I literally watch Paul Harrell videos to get better at orating, and it's made a huge improvement for me; I received compliments on how I speak in the last two years since I've made an effort to emulate Paul.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC I think you'll agree when I say the topics and content are good, but the real draw for me is the character of the individual and Paul has a great, genuine personality. That outshines any flashy, high production videos from other people.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC the thing I need to learn when it comes to speaking is to not talk as fast as my mind is moving. I have to remind myself to slow it down, and to detail my presentation rather than assume things are a "given" when they may not be obvious to another. I do a Rumble Livestream under a different name, and I'm always taking notes from good speakers like Paul. Another powerful orator was the late Bill Cooper of the Hour of the Time.
Paul, well said! I am a head and neck cancer survivor 6 years out. My wife left me during treatment and spread so many lies before and after. She was thinking dead men don’t talk. You speaking truth to people in general is the best you can do. God speed!
Wow...What a Shallow Piece of 💩 - Glad you are Better! - And She Is Out Of Your Life! - Paul is Great, and I only wish I lived closer...I don't mind 9MM holes in my steaks...LOL
Indeed. He is very concise and well spoken. Sometimes I wonder if he's just self depricating to bring a little humor. I certainly wouldn't mind having a few English lessons from him, followed by some range time!
*Paul, you constantly apologize for having a speech impediment. I can't tell you what to do or what to think; only my own impression. I don't perceive any impediment. You are an excellent speaker who presents information very clearly with a measured, unhurried tone that makes it easy to follow your train of thought. The pauses you speak of in your delivery only serve to punctuate your points.* *Compared to the hurried, frenetic, breathless speech patterns of so many content creators these days, your **_"Shatner-esque"_** delivery is a breath of fresh of air by comparison. John Wayne had, at one point in an interview, credited a mentor of his for teaching him to slow his speech and make deliberate pauses when acting to better drive home his dialogue in the minds of movie-goers. Your delivery achieves a similar result.* *I curse the person who stigmatized you into believing you have a speech impediment. I don't hear one on my end; only wise words precisely and thoughtfully delivered by a giant of the firearms community.*
The fact that you can present to this situation with the same level headed demeanor that you have given in all of your videos is part of the reason that you have so many devoted subscribers. You’ve always given us your honest evaluation and opinions and no matter how this goes for you, I’ll always appreciate you for sharing your time, experience and knowledge with us.
Some people have erroneously posted on line that I'm "stage four"
I am NOT. It was caught very early and I'm going to be here for a long time.
I posted this video for two reasons:
1) to head off comments telling me I look tired/bad/etc.

You're a good man, Paul, and you have many, many supporters and fans.
I sured hope we would have kept you around a bit longer. Thank you Paul
We're praying for you, brother
Amen
"We just need to let this go and let me get back to work"
Couldnt agree more Paul. Words to live by
Why can't this be everyone's mantra- "We just need to let this go and let me get back to work"
Mr. Harrell, you're one of my favorite people that I've never met. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I thought we'd have 6 months when this was posted. We got 14. Doesn't make the inevitable any easier.
I feel sorry for Paul's cancer cause it must be terrified that it's going to come down with the worst case of Paul doctors have ever seen! Just keeping it light and love you, man. You got this.
Little known fact; Chuck Norris considered using the stage name Chuck Harrell, but didn't want to risk it.
63 year old woman here. Didn't start shooting till age 59. You have helped me so much! Thank you. Do what is best for you. We will stick around!!
And that folks is what this channel is all about!
You are in our prayers Paul. Godspeed.
Fuck cancer. I miss all the good people in and around my life that have been taken by it.
Paul, I wish you had more time than what was given to you, but I'm greatful for the time you had and good works you did.
I am a fan, a physician, and a shooter since I was 8 years old (I am now 57). I don't "follow" RUclipsrs, so I just occasionally watch your videos and thoroughly enjoy them when I see them. I will not offer sympathy, medical advice, or other such things that you clearly don't need or want. Your contributions are valuable and appreciated, that is my opinion and my observation. I perceive you to be a man of solid integrity and character. I wish you well and hope I run into more of your presentations in the near future.
Being a nurse I wonder if any of this has to do with lead exposure as I've heard of personal gun range owners that had lead levels checked and they were very high.

Getting invested in the personal lives of total strangers is an unfortunate side effect of the interconnectedness of the modern world. Best to care more about the people we actually have the ability to help, and less about celebrities (major or minor). We trick ourselves into thinking we know these people whose videos we watch, music we listen to, books we read, or whatever other media, but we don't know them at all.
Absutely not. Shooting outside is basically a nothingness.
@@ts440sPaul asked not to make wild connections.
Don’t worry about us jumping ship, we’re going to stay and watch no matter what.
We love your content Paul 😊
Real man... Real talk...
No matter the subject.
That's how I judge it.
Nobody cares how YOU judge anybody. You are a nobody
We all appreciate your work Paul, and we're all pulling for you.
You have been nothing but a professional and source for amazing information for years. Thank you for everything you have done for our community sir. I stand with you and wish nothing but the best for you and your health sir.
Nothing drives our enemies more crazy than being successful. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all of this Paul. Rest assured you're in everyone's prayers. With a speedy recovery on the horizon.
RIP Paul. We all appreciate what you did for the second amendment
We love ya Paul. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.
Absolutely
Amen
A man's health is his business. Prayers from my family. Keep on keeping on.
Message received Paul. Thank you for being candid and giving us a heads up.
Oh man its 09 Oct 2024, and I'm finding this out :( Farewell Paul Harrell, Peace be with you, family and friends. Thanks for your expertise, humor . Love you man, God bless you.
Paul's grasp on reality and his practical down to earth view on things including himself always make me smile. Not going anywhere Paul.. Just glad to see you still doing you.
Prayers for you Mr. Harrell.
You're an expert orator with a vast lexicon, sir. It's always a pleasure to listen to and watch you.
Paul speaks better than anyone I've met in two countries and a decade in corporate. I literally watch Paul Harrell videos to get better at orating, and it's made a huge improvement for me; I received compliments on how I speak in the last two years since I've made an effort to emulate Paul.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC I think you'll agree when I say the topics and content are good, but the real draw for me is the character of the individual and Paul has a great, genuine personality. That outshines any flashy, high production videos from other people.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC the thing I need to learn when it comes to speaking is to not talk as fast as my mind is moving. I have to remind myself to slow it down, and to detail my presentation rather than assume things are a "given" when they may not be obvious to another. I do a Rumble Livestream under a different name, and I'm always taking notes from good speakers like Paul. Another powerful orator was the late Bill Cooper of the Hour of the Time.
@@AwesomeHotSauceandKristosCast I agree wholeheartedly with everything that you've said
I wish more people talked like Paul does. There are just people with real CHARACTER that comes out.
Paul, well said! I am a head and neck cancer survivor 6 years out. My wife left me during treatment and spread so many lies before and after. She was thinking dead men don’t talk. You speaking truth to people in general is the best you can do. God speed!
Wow...What a Shallow Piece of 💩 - Glad you are Better! - And She Is Out Of Your Life! - Paul is Great, and I only wish I lived closer...I don't mind 9MM holes in my steaks...LOL
Ive actually always been impressed of your command of the english language...i think your probably one of the most well spoken gun tubers out there
Indeed. He is very concise and well spoken. Sometimes I wonder if he's just self depricating to bring a little humor. I certainly wouldn't mind having a few English lessons from him, followed by some range time!
Oh no, Paul. I'm praying for your health. We love you, Paul.
R.I.P. to Paul, an upstanding man.
He's shooting full-auto in heaven now, with some of the finest figures in both known & unkown history.
We will be here, Paul. Thank you for all that you do.
God bless you Paul. We will pray for you.
I really appreciate you Paul, thanks for all you do for freedom loving Americans across this great nation.
Rip Paul spending the day watching my favorite videos of yours
Much love to you, brother, and thank you for the update. We appreciate you and we're all sticking around, for sure. 👍💚
I’m so glad to see 2 of my favorite non-conservatard pro-gun RUclipsrs watch each other.
All I can say is we love you Paul. You’ve been like a father to alot of us fatherless men
My dad beat cancer three times man, still going strong 👍 all our very best from Ireland 🇮🇪
RIP Paul 🙏
I guess a few of us are going back and looking at his videos , R.I.P
@@chuck300mxc You're damn right
Paul, we are ALL pulling for you. Thank you for sharing, we care.
Watching Paul Harrel in the back ground while doing my daily chores. It's my inspiration to get it done.
My prayers go out to u and your family. You’re an American Patriot.
We're all born to die. We live with the dying. We are raised with the Dead. It's seems you had a great journey. Happy Trails, My friend.
Not jumping ship, no advice, no amateur diagnosis, you look fine, thank you sir for the excellent content.
*Paul, you constantly apologize for having a speech impediment. I can't tell you what to do or what to think; only my own impression. I don't perceive any impediment. You are an excellent speaker who presents information very clearly with a measured, unhurried tone that makes it easy to follow your train of thought. The pauses you speak of in your delivery only serve to punctuate your points.*
*Compared to the hurried, frenetic, breathless speech patterns of so many content creators these days, your **_"Shatner-esque"_** delivery is a breath of fresh of air by comparison. John Wayne had, at one point in an interview, credited a mentor of his for teaching him to slow his speech and make deliberate pauses when acting to better drive home his dialogue in the minds of movie-goers. Your delivery achieves a similar result.*
*I curse the person who stigmatized you into believing you have a speech impediment. I don't hear one on my end; only wise words precisely and thoughtfully delivered by a giant of the firearms community.*
IMO Paul is the one of the most well spoken people on You tube !
probably his ex
You're a class act, Paul. Respect.
Respect
The fact that you can present to this situation with the same level headed demeanor that you have given in all of your videos is part of the reason that you have so many devoted subscribers. You’ve always given us your honest evaluation and opinions and no matter how this goes for you, I’ll always appreciate you for sharing your time, experience and knowledge with us.
