Dad , you are an American legend. I don’t think a lot of people that watch this channel realize who you are . But I do . Thank for the videos and all the articles you have written .
Thank you! Glad your watching. Keep posted for more videos. My dad really appreciates your video
Love the channel what a great family and channel! I'm a 60-year-old mountain man. I just purchased a camper for the back of my truck. I had 3 weeks off. so went deep in the mountains took, several tomahawks, my Winchester 44 mag lever gun, my henry 30 30, my Marlin 45/70 trapper. a 2nd gen colt single action. Ruger vaquero. a colt 1911lightweight commander. and two Ruger Blackhawks, Glock 43x and a shotgun. I spent the 1st week throwing tomahawks. target shooting. laying in my hammock, hiking exploring. just really enjoying the outdoors. I was sitting in my hammock drinking coffee. when the hairs on the back of my neck stood up!
I knew immediately. there was danger. just then 4 buses pulled up, and two vans pulled up. when 5 extremely overweight females walked into my camp along with 30 girl scouts. The women asked me if I would help them set their tents up. while 30 girls were screaming and laughing running around. In a panic I backed up slowly not making eye contact packed up everything. I had to play dead a couple times and had to make myself look larger a couple times to SCAR off the predators! I checked my camp again making sure I left no trace. took a leafy branch and got rid of any tracks so the predators couldn't track me. and got the hell out of there.... I BARLY MADE OUT WITH MY LIFE...Drove 50 more mile down a service road deep in the mountains. made camp, besides the Black Bars, and the mountain lions. it was heaven. I did wake up in a cold sweat having a panic attack every now and then reliving the girl scout incident. I kind of flashed back from my military days in Iraq...scary!
Hahahaha that was a close call! 😂
This is probably our favorite comment to date! Haha thank you!
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide Yep...
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide I did a friend's request on two of your Instagrams. A lot of guns, knives...ect
@@mountainman.4478 we appreciate that!
Great story's fellas, makes me miss my Dad.
He took me hunting out on hitchinbrook island when I was about 12. I stopped a a creek for a drink and when I broke thru the a clearing a grizzly charged up behind me. I didn't poop myself but I raked 3 shells out without pulling the trigger. 😂
Haha that adrenaline is pretty great stuff! Bears are no joke
Really like what you guys are doing. Great stories. So many gun videos focus on angry politics and some guy in tactical gear doing mag dumps at 7 yards and talking about shooting people. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! We try and cover a wide range of topics
Outstanding AF, really enjoyed the stories and the channel in general!! Please keep it coming guys!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Great time guys! I woke up from a nap under a pine with a bear digging for bugs next to me. Cap lock Hawken 50 is all I had. Turned out there was two bears, but they took off when I stood and yelled. Glad I didn't need to shoot.
That would be a fun way to wake up haha!
Great video. Great stories!
That reminded me of an incident when I lived in Davie FL. Davie is about 8 miles west of the ocean near ft. Lauderdale. There was what was called the L- Shaped Lake about a block from my house. It was good size, about a block wide with the legs about 2 blocks long. This lake was in the middle of a residential area. It was an old rock pit that was about 65 ft deep in the middle. The water was not connected to the canals and was not polluted. The state stocked it with Peacock Bass and Largemouths. Had a Veteran's Park at one end and was a popular fishing spot.
I used to take daily walks past the lake. On the inside of the L there was a big stand of oak trees. At the very peak there was a huge oak where someone had tied a rope so you could swing out over the water. The water was very clear and I used to see a lot of fish right there. I walked up to the base of the oak and looked down into the clear water and saw something sticking up from the bottom. It was at about a 45 degree angle and seemed to be quite long and about thick as my arm. I watched it for a while and it never moved. Of course, I could not leave it alone. Had to find out what it was. There was a brush pile and I pulled out about a 10 ft stick. I put the stick in the water a poked whatever it was.
It was a snake. It was what I would call watermelon colored with light green background and dark green and red stripes . Never saw a snake in that color. It flew up out of the water like a rocket and splashed me in the face. Sticking out three feet out of the water, it gave me a look of hate I will never forget! Then it hissed and opened its mouth showing a white interior. Then it came up the bank at me. I about faced and did the 220. Didnt look back until a block away.
Th funny thing about this is that I had seen gators in the lake, one day an 11 footer. Whenever I went near the water in FL, I had a 44 Magnum with 300 gr cast bullet loads with me. That day I had a Uberti short barrel single action in an IWB holster. I never even thought of the gun.
So, the moral of the story is never poke something with a stick. You might get a rude surprise. I never did that again. And I stayed away from there for quite a while.
Water moccasins come in that color. I had only seen black, grey and brown ones up to that point. This one was also huge. Looked about 10 feet long in the water but things look a third bigger looking down in the water.
Great story! 😄
I enjoyed and will continue to watch these. Brian’s articles have always left me feeling smarter on the given subject. .45 Colt articles have always been favorites.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching!
I would like brian to write a autobiography. Some of the family stories, are fantastic, in wolf publishing magazine's. I'm sure it would sell . You got my order. Best wishes, keep up the good work.
Maybe one of these days he will get to it. I've been trying to convince dad to write a book for a while. A good book is alot of work
Joe You screamed snake while squeezing off your first shot!!! You probably could have beat Billy the kid on the draw that day!! Lol jake i remember your tape front sight gun lol good stories to bring back good old memories 👍
Thanks for the input Dirt Bag! Those were good memories!
I'm sure sitting at a campfire wy the pearce family would be a heck of a lot of fun. Maybe not a lot of sleep but very entertaining. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Thank you!
Always great to see you all and listening to your stories!! I’ll have to come up with a good campfire topic!! Good stuff!!
Thank you for watching!
Good video guys
Thank you!
A family with a ton of gun knowledge. My kind of people!
Thank you!
I recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying the content. I read your Pop's work for the last 25yrs, so I'm very happy to see him on the channel too. I'll speak vaguely to dodge the filters, but Will might want to review his setup. I'd hate to see unwanted stress interrupt a happy family.
Hey gents,
I truly enjoyed this posting. My 1st job out of high school in 1976 was on a cattle and horse operation in southern CA , when we still had both here. Sadly most of them are now gone . In 1970 something, I read in a gun magazine ( not one from Wolfe Publishing) that 38 Spl / 357 mag shot cartridges were invincible snake killers. I bought ONE box, and dutifully loaded two rounds in my Colt Python followed up by 4 handloads. On three separate occasions ( in front of witnesses ) the shot ctgs failed, only making for a very angry serpent . All three times the matter was resolved by the conventional loading. I didn't by any more. My other snake shootings were rather uneventful .
I'd like to suggest a couple more fireside chat topics. 1) What is / was your favorite work saddle gun ? ( The rifle carried in scabbard while hunting is dictated by game being pursued ) Mine was a Savage Mdl 88 chambered (and handloaded ) for 250 Savage . I still have both the gun and scabbard . 2) What is your favorite under the pillow gun when camping ? Mine is a S&W 625-6 Mountain Gun, filled with handloads of RCBS -SAA 270 Scovill bullets and a charge of Unique (as recommended by a renowned contributor to Handloader Magazine. )
Thanks for watching and those are great suggestions! We will put those in the suggestion jar and probably address both of those in the future
Great video. Reminds me of my family, really enjoy reading your dad's articles in hand loader and rifle magazine.
Thank you!
My revolvers are always packed with shotshells . I never go under the crawl space without my usfa rodeo and a reliable flashlight. Snakes like to follow the mice through the gopher holes. And when you come face to face with a danger noodle you don't have enough time to worry about pipes.
Love those grips on that 357. Reminds me of some of the grips John Taffin has on some of his 44’s
I have too many “favorite” guns but it seems my 44 magnum with a hand cast 250g Keith bullet always seems to be with me on the close encounters. Great video guys
Hello. I’m just discovering your channel and am really enjoying it so far. I’ve watched a few of your videos but not all. I would like to hear what everyone’s first gun was and then everyone’s favorite gun. If this has already been done could you direct me to those videos. Thanks guys.
Thank you! Great suggestion we will do that in a future camp fire video
Thank you guys for doing these videos. This really sets your channel apart from other gun channels and it is really awesome to hear these stories. And thank your dad for being a part of it as well. I’ve read many an article by Mr. Pearce but this is far more intimate in getting to know about the man behind the writing.
Thank you for watching we really appreciate it!
I'd like to see a campfire video of you guys discussing what knives you carry in the outdoors.
That's a good idea!
Another good video from y'all. I preciate the stories Gentlemen. Thumbs-up from Fl~John
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and good stories!
Such a great video thanks guys. I would love to hear some stories about. 22lrs gotta love a 22!
We definitely cover 22's in the future thanks for watching
1. I would like to second the request of an autobiography/family/history book from Brian. I've been reading his material for i can't remember how long, always enjoy it. I know you're busy, you seem to crank out the articles, this is simply a request if it fits your schedule and you're interested in it. Thanks again!
2. KNIVES! Another obsession!
Thanks! We definitely will do some more videos on knives. We have been trying to convince dad to write a book... hopefully he will at some point!
Thanks, guys! Great stories!
Our pleasure!
Great episode ! what flying insects are eating you all up lol. Oh and i think i have every firearm you all discussed in this episode
Mosquitoes were pretty bad that night. Thanks for watching!
Great stories and a great channel.
Glad you like them!
Late to the party but i just discovered your channel today! Joe ive been reading your dad's articles for a really long time. I don't know when he started but im pretty sure I was a kid and that was a long time ago 😂
Glad you found the channel! Thanks for watching
I really enjoy these videos. I’ve been reading Brian’s articles since, I wanna say ‘95 maybe in Handloader and Rifle. Seems like maybe he was writing for another publication I read and then went to Wolf Publishing. It’s great to see y’all on YT.
Thank you for watching!
Hey so maybe I missed you explaining why the fact you guys all seem to use older style weapons and caliber choices. But I am curious if there is a more concise answer? It would seem that there are a lot more effective and capable guns nowadays? It seems like you guys have chosen guns that work for you, but I was not expecting to see so many "dated" guns. Love the content keep it up!
Thank you for watching! Alot of us are very history oriented and like the classic stuff. Using older guns certainly connects you to the past. We do really like modern stuff as well and do/will cover alot of that
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide OK yea I was kind of thinking that when the one guy had a mauser in one video and said "you cant beat a bolt action" lol I love the chill style of the campfire chat stuff and its cool to learn about different guns for me!
I said it before, I wish I had a family like that ,great father sons, and I'm sure a great mom, too. God bless that great American family
Thank you we appreciate it!
I stumbled upon this channel and I'm loving it. I'll be playing catch up on videos for a while. I've wanted to visit (live in Idaho) for a long time. Have been having some serious eye issues for the past few years but hoping to get out to Idaho before wife and I are too old. For now keep up the great videos guys. (Bobo from Pa)
Thank you! Hopefully you make it out here it's a wonderful state
Wholsome. Yeah, the 1911 is the best pistol for back up... yeah where one snake always more
Very true!
GREAT, Finally NO kids in the background. Thanks
I was wondering if you guys ever have fans that come to meet you guys I have read Brian articles for a long time
Good stories guys. Enjoy your day.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Thanks, you too!

Red shirt. In the future when you get to a pause you do not have to say "AND AH!' Sorry brother. Just trying to help.
Yeah we could all work on that. Thanks for the tip!
Why is the Pearce brother on the right so old compared to the others?
@@mountainman.4478 I think he was prob. aware of that 😉
That's our dad....we started the channel before he was a part of it. He joined a month or so back and we havnt changed the name
@@Boneless_Chuck I was. Just making a joke.
Outstanding AF, really enjoyed the stories and the channel in general!! Please keep it coming guys!!!
