I don't know who this man is, but the video popped up on my feed on YouTube. I watched it and it was quite disheartening. It's a sad thing for a man to know his time is coming and prepare a message for his audience ahead of time.
10He was one of the few OG guntubers to actually have a hard rule of not mixing political or cultural opinions, views or charged rhetoric or lingo in with his discussion of firearms.
In addition to that, he had far more practical experience than many other guntubers, had far, far more practical advice regarding firearms than most guntubers, and had an exceptionally direct and effective communication style, with plain language and simple yet accurate demonstrations.
Most (not all, but most) other popular guntubers are highly political, brash, and edgy, highly commercialized themselves and basically turned into gigantic spectacular overproduced shills for whoever is sponsoring them, and participate in creating and maintaining a culture of continuous conspicuous consumption for firearms, akin to FOMO... or they just had no clue what they are talking about.
Basically, Paul came across as a disciplined range master with a subdued yet wry wit, amidst a sea of overly cocksure, foolhardy guntubers with more money and ego than sense, who he'd likely ban from said range.

Rest in peace, Paul. Your Christmas and Thanksgiving cooking specials will be missed the most.
8Damn.
5Rest in Peace.
Looking at the channels thumbnails over time is really tragic to see. Good spirit the whole time!
4Wtf??? This guy was one of the few gun YouTubers that IIRC was never a rabid right wing weirdo. Very useful channel. RIP
4Damn, what a shame. He’s got some great content.
3Fuck cancer.
3The video was filmed in December of 2023 and he died in September of 2024. I'm glad he survived much longer than he thought he would, at least, but it's a shame we lost him.
Rest in peace, Paul. You've earned it.
