We are the Beaver State, actually. On the front of our state flag is the escutcheon from the state seal and on the reverse is a gold figure of a beaver, the state animal. Oregon is the only U.S. State to feature different designs on either side of its flag. I'll leave the rest of the commentary to others.
70 years old today, officially an old man. Things to be thankful for: 1) Being alive and not in the ICU or on a ventilator and in otherwise good health 2) Having a great wife 3) Being retired with enough wealth and income to not need to worry about going to a food bank to make a withdrawal 3) Owning a paid for house, no need to worry about foreclosure or eviction 5) Having everything I need and a lot of what I want. 5) Having too many hobbies, can't do most of them, just got a new one guns. 5)Watching Paul's videos
Welp...I’ll be an official “old man myself next year. Good thing your finances seem to be in good order because your new hobby...guns...is going to hit that pretty hard! It’s a healthy addiction.😁

Paul: "Well mother there are caveats, disclaimers, and a couple of explanations before we partake in any form of familial celebration or physical contact" Not hating lol, just found it funny even a Thanksgiving special has a terms & agreement section.

I expected him to describe the chocolate cake box as "Betty Crocker red and white box super moist triple chocolate cake" this was wonderful. Thank you Paul for an excellent Thanksgiving special.

Yeah camping cooking to me is a tin of baked beans and maybe a fish if we catch one. I ain't hauling a fuck-ton of pans with me. Then again I don't go further than a few hours walk from civilisation. If ya gonna go into the bush..maybe you need some shit.

Same here. Go to work at 6 am get home at 6 pm or later. I look at people in Europe who work 30 hour weeks and wonder what they do with all their spare time. I have friends from Europe and they seem a lot more relaxed and free of stress. I just wonder if America adopted a 25 r 30 hour work week if our unemployment levels would drop and diseases caused by stress( heart and cancer) would drop.
@@johnd4348 To me it would merely accelerate the current American trend of outsourcing out manufactoring, as well as pollution to china. You know the country that doesnt give two rats behinds about pollution, let alone workers rights. Ever hear of FoxConn??... The one company that produces Iphones and drive their workers to the point the have to put "suicide nets" outside the buildings to prevent the sight of dead bodies outside of the company ground floor view. So if you prefer more heroine deaths due to overdose and more unemployment. Yes lets go with the European model. Oh yes I know they have a more "robust" welfare system, but like countries like Germany. They can afford it cause we have bases in Germany. When you dont have to afford a army large enough to defend yourselves(cause of the Americans) nor spend what you need to in NATO. Yeah real easy to afford a lavish welfare system. How about we withdrew our troops around the world and take care of ourselves first before worrying how the rest of the world does things??
@@christopherp.1391 Hey, I agree 100 percent. America First just like Trump is promoting. I still don't see why we need troops in Europe and Japan. The first 20 or 30 years after WW2 of course to help them rebuild and stabalize their societies, but not 70 years later. The real reason is money for the Elites. John McCain said it best when asked how long troops would be in Afganistan. 50 years maybe 100 years. Why first response was WHY? These people were fighting each other 2000 years before America was even discovered. We could have rebuilt America's infrastructure 2 times over with the amount of money we have spent on wars and foreign aid.
We need to be protectionist and ban outsourcing to a degree, then we definitely should reduce work weeks to 20 hours, very doable, would reduce unemployment AND raise wages, stock market won’t do as well but it’s not like the Dow actually represents the health of our economy as the past year has shown

Dobar den. I like the comment above. Start your own tradition by cooking a big meal gather family n friends (non Chinese Wuhan flu time) and celebrate being thankful. I've been to Bulgaria so I know your part of the world knows how to feast. I was there for two weeks and was never hungry. Maybe it was because I was guest, but each meal had way more food than necessary.
I always find it amusing one of the most eloquent people on TH-cam thinks he speaks poorly. Paul, most TH-camrs are so bad at speaking coherent sentences their videos have multiple jump cuts in one sentence. Your lack of jump cuts and on-point presentations are exactly why you're one of my favorite people on TH-cam.
Being self conscious and probably his own expectations for his videos. So far over 300 videos and here and there, was that what he meant? I don' care. I've seen comments like yours several times. And earlier this year I stumbled on 1-2 comments that were mean about it. I couldn't imagine that someone would send him mail about that and apparently there really are some. I've seen some "Wear your hearing protection" posts as well, while Paul always points it out. It gets less frequent cause he covers all the bases.
This video is so soothing. The little planes flying overhead, the small talk, opening a can of flour, warning about the desiccant packs, the overall setting, etc. I've had this on in the background over and over while doing other things. It's like Paul invited us over for real.

Having done work for an organization, my observations have shown that these women still need to be vetted. Some lead a bad life and think that Church magically fixes everything while they continue down their bad path.
Dutch oven cooking, followed at 1:03:00 by a seminar on dating, followed at 1:21:30 with what Paul is thankful for. As for me, I'm thankful for Paul and his channel.
10 mins in stufffing duck with mandarin oranges waiting for him to wrap it in two layers of Tshirt and a leather vest. Then ventilate it 5 times to ensure even heating. Remember he is a professional.
There are two things I can count on every year at thanksgiving, my uncle being drunk and Paul reminding us that a pastry blender is for cutting in, not blending pastry.
At some point he must have put alot of effort into training cadence and inflection because he does have a very measured and steady talking rate. As someone who did my fair share of field teaching infront of a butcher board its something that just develops over time...that being said his pace is PERFECT for using that "Playback Speed' option in the settings.
@@KarltheKrazyone Can't really agree with his advice to "go for those that are attracted to you and learn to like them". He said that people are individuals, and you might find the individual that will turn out to like you from the category you like yourself, but you have to actually try, and not resort to lowering your standards. There are middle-aged men who score attractive young women.
Kid needs introduction to herbivore wild elephant, rhinoceros, and hippo. "They are much smaller than dinosaurs, kid. Run over there and give one a big old hug, they won't eat you."
C’mon Paul...start a cooking channel! “Today I’m using Lawry’s seasoned salt, 435 gram red and white bottle. And we’re going to cook the chicken on the left in the iron pan at 400° and the goose on the right in the stainless steel pan at 350°. In a few minutes we’ll see how the two compare. Now of course this comes with a laundry list of caveats, yeahbuts, and disclaimers...”
"And there was i crouched down avoiding enemy fire, i lose my balance and put my hand on a duch oven's lid when it slips and makes me fall down, exposing my position."
I have heard "The proof is in the pudding" throughout my life and it wasn't until watching these Holiday Specials that I learned it was really "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Such a simple thing that we've all been getting wrong all these years. It really shows you how _easy_ is is for misinformation to spread and become the accepted fact. One person says it, then another and another and before you know it it has become "The proof is in the pudding". I'm a new fan of Paul's, but I have been binging his content the past two days and I really really like his style. I also follow other guntubers, Demolition Ranch, Kentucky Ballistics, Jerry Miculek, Donut Operator, Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb and so on but while I really enjoy their content, Paul's content is a very nice addition to that list. It may be odd commenting on such an old video, but this is the video I happened to be watching when the initial thought of the comment came to me and well, here we are. Love your content, I could listen to you talk all day (and in fact, today I did. I work from home and had your videos on all day).
True story: my first use of a Dutch oven was at a beach in California, under the sea wall. The actual cooking had just barely begun when my girlfriend says, "look behind you", and what I see is an entire family of Pennsylvania Dutch watching our operation from up on the sea wall. Kids, parents, grandma, grandpa, the whole clan in their customary attire. They are smiling at us. "We've been watching you, keep up the good work!" Now what are the odds of THAT happening? And yes, the pineapple upside down cake turned out scrumptiously.
Must have made you feel good about your own efforts that people who probably use dutch ovens on a regular basis approve of your preparation. Still a bizzare happenstance, amd amusing.
Best kind of videos. Feeling like you're little kid and visiting your uncle, who's funny, owns a lot of guns, loves them all, loves you and very rarely talks about his time in the military. God bless you, sir! God bless America!
As Paul has said in another video “...my military anecdotes are short, infrequent, and boring. That’s because they’re true.” I may be paraphrasing but as a veteran I greatly appreciate the lack of BS.
Part 2 " Just get it over with right up front in a week rather than waiting 12 years to be handed divorce papers: Find someone that you absolutely despise, give them half of everything you own then pay them 30% of your wages for the next 20 years.

Paul, I'm going to be honest, I would ABSOLUTELY watch a Paul Harrel Camfire Sing-Along. Like, seriously, I wouldn't even think twice before clicking on such a thing.
I have a speech impediment that sometimes can be damn near crippling so I understand but I have to say in the comments all I see is a love fest for the way you speak. Clear and direct. Personally I can tell when you impediment kicks in and I find it reassuring because it means you're not secretly a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101
You've got me inspired. Just paused to start a batch of Chicken veggie soup (in the instapot) chicken broth. small bit of rice. Lots of garlic. touches of dried red peppers for zip. add LOTS of veggies at the end. and in 60 mins, boom: mexi-garlic-Veggie-Chicken soup.
Paul and Kent Rollins are my two favorite Dutch oven chefs on the interwebs. VERY different presentations, but I always look forward to them both! Thank you Paul.

Spot on comment!👍
You nailed it!
Through hiker I assume
Check out Kent Rollins, that guy is a professional chuck wagon cook
Lol
I like this…Paul being Paul…no edits.
I live in Serbia. We got nothing to do with Thanksgivig, but I was looking forward to Paul's Thanksgiving special!
Happy Thanksgiving, Paul!
Greetings from Serbia!
Well, you could start the tradition and make it your own. Layout a traditional Serbian meal, there is lots to be thankful for.
Greetings to Serbia also. Thank you for commenting.
Branko, have a Happy Thanksgiving! Not just for Americans, brother!
Dobar den. I like the comment above. Start your own tradition by cooking a big meal gather family n friends (non Chinese Wuhan flu time) and celebrate being thankful.
I've been to Bulgaria so I know your part of the world knows how to feast. I was there for two weeks and was never hungry. Maybe it was because I was guest, but each meal had way more food than necessary.
There’s an alternate universe where Paul Harrell just does outdoor cooking videos
I'd be very interesting to see the demographics of this video versus his normal shooting video. Might put some stereotypes in danger.
@@sexyshadowcat7 The wide breadth of townsends viewers amazes me
Yes in that world Ian Fleming only did one James Bond story and multiple Chitty Chitty Bang Bang books.
Cowboy Kent Rollins is who you looking for.. lol
And has the exact same audience.
Next year, how about a "gun to table" episode, where you shoot, dress, and cook a meal? :)
That is a great idea.
@Ken Mason LMAO !! Now that would be absolutely HILARIOUS !!

@@PaulHarrell yes it is, rabbit maybe?

I always find it amusing one of the most eloquent people on TH-cam thinks he speaks poorly.
Paul, most TH-camrs are so bad at speaking coherent sentences their videos have multiple jump cuts in one sentence.
Your lack of jump cuts and on-point presentations are exactly why you're one of my favorite people on TH-cam.
I'm really wondering who said anything about how he talks? I've never seen those comments, I love the way he speaks! His delivery is always spot on!
I've never even seen a comment making fun of how he talks, not once. It's all comments about how excited they get about the meat target.
I think it was in his very early vids, a long, long time ago, 😂
or getting really excited for story time
Being self conscious and probably his own expectations for his videos. So far over 300 videos and here and there, was that what he meant? I don' care. I've seen comments like yours several times. And earlier this year I stumbled on 1-2 comments that were mean about it. I couldn't imagine that someone would send him mail about that and apparently there really are some. I've seen some "Wear your hearing protection" posts as well, while Paul always points it out. It gets less frequent cause he covers all the bases.
@@onpsxmember i kinda want one of those posters with paul doing the uncle Sam I want you pose

This video is so soothing. The little planes flying overhead, the small talk, opening a can of flour, warning about the desiccant packs, the overall setting, etc. I've had this on in the background over and over while doing other things. It's like Paul invited us over for real.
Happy Thanksgiving to all from Afghanistan. Always enjoy your videos Paul.
Hello friend

Thank you for your service
Happy thanksgiving brother

As much as I enjoyed "ham-n-yam", I like "Duck a l'orange du Paul Harrell" too.
I especially favor Paul´s method of protecting other things with bacon.
"Remember that episode of I love Lucy?"
Oh yeah I know that one.

Lets be honest we all knew this upload was coming
Ya, as soon as I realized this was coming, I cleared my schedule!

Ya know, I don't recall ever seeing Paul cook the meat target before.
.....maybe he will do a flame thrower comparison in the future.

On dating advice, church is good place to look for a mate. Be genuine though and don't try to fake it. Women with values are priceless.
Very good point. If you're a man of faith, who would appreciate that? A woman of faith. Where would you find such a woman? At church.
Having done work for an organization, my observations have shown that these women still need to be vetted. Some lead a bad life and think that Church magically fixes everything while they continue down their bad path.
@@bobroberts2371 Bad girls. Good to know.
I met my wife at church, happily married for 27 years now.
Paul was asked for dating advice and by God he actually sincerely gave a detailed response.
Dutch oven cooking, followed at 1:03:00 by a seminar on dating, followed at 1:21:30 with what Paul is thankful for. As for me, I'm thankful for Paul and his channel.
10 mins in stufffing duck with mandarin oranges waiting for him to wrap it in two layers of Tshirt and a leather vest. Then ventilate it 5 times to ensure even heating. Remember he is a professional.
🤣💗👍
lmao, this made me laugh until everyone started asking what was so funny.
Now we need a “Paul’s Top 5 Tips on Cleaning Cast Iron in the Field” video
It would be great if Paul had field manuals.
I had the same thought and figured thats where it was goining, then... NOPE dating advice!
Boil water in it and scrape out any gunk. Then, dry and apply a light coat of vegetable oil on it and store.
You don't clean cast iron in the field. You just cook the next thing.
I was literally thinking this same thing.
There are two things I can count on every year at thanksgiving, my uncle being drunk and Paul reminding us that a pastry blender is for cutting in, not blending pastry.
Paul's disclaimer about his speech gave me a laugh. You're one of the most fluid speakers on youtube!
I know! I’m new to the channel and I’ve heard him apologize for his speaking at least 3 times. What!? Dude should be voicing audiobooks.
That's Mr. Harrell 😎👍
Enjoy 😋
🐑💨🔥
At some point he must have put alot of effort into training cadence and inflection because he does have a very measured and steady talking rate.
As someone who did my fair share of field teaching infront of a butcher board its something that just develops over time...that being said his pace is PERFECT for using that "Playback Speed' option in the settings.
Found it.... lol
53:41
@@MrDALE-jy8tu lol! it makes sense now. He’s a perfectionist. He sees his minor mistakes as catastrophes.
I think Paul only did the dating advice section so he could finally rant about the kid who thinks a herbivore dinosaur isn't dangerous.
That and show off the roadrunner
And single-handedly put out more good advice into the world than an entire genre of "self-help". The man can't help but make the world a better place.
@@KarltheKrazyone Can't really agree with his advice to "go for those that are attracted to you and learn to like them". He said that people are individuals, and you might find the individual that will turn out to like you from the category you like yourself, but you have to actually try, and not resort to lowering your standards. There are middle-aged men who score attractive young women.
@@EnclaveTrooper1 That takes both money and, usually, loads of personality that gun guys don't normally have.

19:23 a genuine Paul laugh and smile just brightened up my day
I feel like paul is actually probably a pretty jovial guy
Two things I love about this video
1. The fact that he used the same huge knife for everything
2. The comments section is awesome!
This really did turn an unremarkable day into a heartwarming holiday for me.
Thank you.
I need an indoor cooking video just to hear the inevitable 10/10 pun "hi we're on the range today" as Paul gestures at a 6 burner stove
C’mon Paul...start a cooking channel!
“Today I’m using Lawry’s seasoned salt, 435 gram red and white bottle. And we’re going to cook the chicken on the left in the iron pan at 400° and the goose on the right in the stainless steel pan at 350°. In a few minutes we’ll see how the two compare. Now of course this comes with a laundry list of caveats, yeahbuts, and disclaimers...”
This... is... EPIC! I laughed so hard, thank you
@@TheRoadhammer379 No problem!

Watching this made me realize that I don't get out to the north woods often enough. One of the best parts of camping is making the meal.
I've heard Paul chuckle, but this is the first time I've heard him let out a genuine laugh lol.
Much love from South Africa. You could talk about literally anything, because you speak like a father-figure, you are always enjoyable to listen to.

I have heard "The proof is in the pudding" throughout my life and it wasn't until watching these Holiday Specials that I learned it was really "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Such a simple thing that we've all been getting wrong all these years. It really shows you how _easy_ is is for misinformation to spread and become the accepted fact. One person says it, then another and another and before you know it it has become "The proof is in the pudding".
I'm a new fan of Paul's, but I have been binging his content the past two days and I really really like his style. I also follow other guntubers, Demolition Ranch, Kentucky Ballistics, Jerry Miculek, Donut Operator, Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb and so on but while I really enjoy their content, Paul's content is a very nice addition to that list.
It may be odd commenting on such an old video, but this is the video I happened to be watching when the initial thought of the comment came to me and well, here we are. Love your content, I could listen to you talk all day (and in fact, today I did. I work from home and had your videos on all day).
True story: my first use of a Dutch oven was at a beach in California, under the sea wall. The actual cooking had just barely begun when my girlfriend says, "look behind you", and what I see is an entire family of Pennsylvania Dutch watching our operation from up on the sea wall. Kids, parents, grandma, grandpa, the whole clan in their customary attire. They are smiling at us. "We've been watching you, keep up the good work!" Now what are the odds of THAT happening? And yes, the pineapple upside down cake turned out scrumptiously.
It was that level of weird, too!
Must have made you feel good about your own efforts that people who probably use dutch ovens on a regular basis approve of your preparation. Still a bizzare happenstance, amd amusing.
Best kind of videos. Feeling like you're little kid and visiting your uncle, who's funny, owns a lot of guns, loves them all, loves you and very rarely talks about his time in the military. God bless you, sir! God bless America!
Well stated, and I think I'm oder than he is, since he was in HS in the 80s.
As Paul has said in another video “...my military anecdotes are short, infrequent, and boring. That’s because they’re true.” I may be paraphrasing but as a veteran I greatly appreciate the lack of BS.
Every time Paul reached inside the duck I was afraid he was going to lose his watch.
Mr. Bean, anyone?
This year, no kids, no family, no Thanksgiving turkey.
Thanks, Paul.
It's like you cooked dinner for all of us.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Divorced?
“You can always be very generous with bacon.” Amen to that brother!
Hallelujah
Love, peace, and bacon grease!🥓
Hogs are my favorite animals..................they turn veggies into BACON!! YIPPEE!!!
Thanks Paul for 1 hour 23 minutes and 33 seconds of 2020 that didn't suck.
That's about all of 2020 that didn't suck: 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 33 seconds.
Being 19, listening to Paul explain dating is absolutely timeless.

Paul, I'm going to be honest, I would ABSOLUTELY watch a Paul Harrel Camfire Sing-Along. Like, seriously, I wouldn't even think twice before clicking on such a thing.
Yes, the 2nd Annual Episode of Cooking and Talking with Paul Harrell outdoors.
Huzzah!
Damn another year passed and here we are watching Paul cooking again, yes sir perfect!
Makes it all worth it.
Respect for "the Princess Bride" clip. You are an interesting and literate man.
I have a speech impediment that sometimes can be damn near crippling so I understand but I have to say in the comments all I see is a love fest for the way you speak. Clear and direct.
Personally I can tell when you impediment kicks in and I find it reassuring because it means you're not secretly a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101
"I like dinosaurs!" Mr. Harrell's expression and tone of voice make this one of the most hilarious things I've heard in quite some time.
Of course he does. They taste like Mandarin Orange Duck after all.
I think I would cheat a bit and throw in a few extra large grapefruits when trying to stuff one of those bad boys.

You've got me inspired. Just paused to start a batch of Chicken veggie soup (in the instapot) chicken broth. small bit of rice. Lots of garlic. touches of dried red peppers for zip. add LOTS of veggies at the end. and in 60 mins, boom: mexi-garlic-Veggie-Chicken soup.
almost an hour and a half of Paul, Happy Thanksgiving indeed.
"You have to really carefully measure the amount of salt you put in..." *frowns and sprays salt everywhere*

Remington calls it metal case.
I like to imagine this is how Paul always cooks, he is never out of the field.
