Thanks for watching SoloFamGangArmyWarriors! Hope you liked this episode and the origins of Paul Bunyan! I had a lot of fun during the research portion of this one. I thought it was hilarious/awesome that our boy Paul may have actually been a real dude AND that the stories about him basically served as a gentle hazing for greenhorns in the woods 😂 Learning that simple camaraderie between “blue collar” workers gave birth to an American legend is one of the many reasons I love the series.
Don’t forget to comment YOUR thoughts down below along with any recommendations you have for future episodes!
Do I hear Midwestern in your Wis-cahn-sin 😅❤
ОтветитьWo the PB we know about is just a advertising lie?
ОтветитьThe way the 1912 loggers describe Paul Bunyan makes me think of Andre the Giant
ОтветитьPaul bunion the food is good but not a good a
ОтветитьPaul Bunyan is American Kaiju
ОтветитьI like to think Paul is connected to the giant from Jack in the Beanstalk; that when the Beanstalk crashed, the infant Paul's cradle was somehow in it and landed in the American North, where a pioneer family found him and, like with Clark Kent, raised him.
ОтветитьSo Paul Bunyan is just the og chuck Norris
ОтветитьYour a not head. Paul Bunyan was buried in mn. Because the story is from mn.
ОтветитьGreat video.
ОтветитьHES SIXTY THREE AXE HANDLES HIGH HEY PAUL PAUL BUNYUN
ОтветитьChuck Norris of his day?
ОтветитьI was a child in Northern Minnesota and lived in Bemidji at one point. They have statues of Paul and Babe there. Use to have a book with his stories in it too. I never heard about him outside MN though so surprised more people were aware of him. lol
ОтветитьThe real Paul Bunyan was a Canadian lumberjack named Fabian Fournier who stood six feet tall in a time when anyone taller than 5 foot 6 inches was considered a giant! Also Babe the big blue Ox became blue during the year without summer!
ОтветитьA waste management shirt. Nice lol
ОтветитьI only knew Paul Bunyan from FGO game🤣🤣🤣,never knowing that his story was a legend. By the way in that game...,she was little girl with a wild hog as side kick☹️☹️☹️☹️
ОтветитьLet’s go Wisconsin💪🏻😎
ОтветитьPaul Bunyan being based on a real.owrson is more believable than the stories of him. It's almost human nature to expand stories of remarkable people. My dad was one such person. He was big, he was funny, he was boisterous. However, the stories I've heard in the 13 years since his passing has made him almost an American tall tale legend. Yes, he was also a logger. Loggers are a rough and tough group of people to start with so in order for them to hold someone at such high regard to make them a legend. The person would have to have been pretty u believable to start off with.
ОтветитьBohop ruppup
ОтветитьI'm from Maine. Paul Bubyan's one of my heroes!
ОтветитьSo Paul Bunyan started out as the lumberjack equivalent of sending the mechanic's intern out for blinker fluid? That's brilliant. 😂
Ответитьimagine Chuck Norris's folktale in a 1000 years
ОтветитьPecos Bill
ОтветитьI like your videos
ОтветитьI grew up loving the stories of Paul Bunyan no matter if the story sounded vague or not. My favorite is during a winter Paul and babe walked through a storm leaving their foot prints behind and as soon spring came we got what we now call Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes.
ОтветитьObnoxious
ОтветитьI remember my dad telling me that supposedly Paul Bunyan's story had it's beginning around Menomonie WI area supposedly. In Eau Claire, WI there is a logging museum named after Paul Bunyan.
ОтветитьIt wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't just some old lumberjack with a bunion he named Paul. So it became an inside joke among loggers, which non-loggers would hear and assume Paul Bunyion is just the name of another logger. The stories about his exploits are just what they make up on the spot when a noob would ask, "Who's Paul Bunyion?"
ОтветитьI'm just curious about the waste management shirt tbh 😁
ОтветитьIf you do revisit Paul Bunyan, please talk about the Disney version based on his exploits.
ОтветитьLol it's funny how the first guy who tried to depict Paul Bunyan decided on making a fat guy smoking a pipe. I would expect the stories to more in the lines of the "hold my beer" types based on the picture rather than a guy who carved the grand canyon or straightened a river.
ОтветитьI've first heard of Paul Bunyan from Disney's adaptation of the story.
ОтветитьSo thts how fakelore was made and could u imagine meeting paul and seeing him work tht would be nuts there probably was a guy named Paul he was probably talk and good at wat he did so they probably made up story to make it look better
ОтветитьMy Great grandfather Garfield was a logger in northern Michigan, he's like the guy that bought 40 acres from the railroad and after a day of cutting trees would haul lumber on his back five miles from the saw mill to his 40 acres to build the farmhouse and the barn and the outbuildings, they are still standing today and in use and functional, something about it being in the historical registers, one of the few continual family farms in the United States,and he told me story's of Paul Bunyan and babe the Great Blue ox when I was a wee child. Like he was a real person that great Grandpa had known and worked with. When I got out here to the Great Pacific North Wet and started swinging a chainsaw, I heard the same stories around the campfire at night in the logging camps. Many years ago there used to be a restaurant down on River road and meridian in Puyallup by where the old hi ho shopping center used to be that had a big Paul Bunyan statue. In my travels across the United States I probably seen it at least 25 different statues or monuments to Paul Bunyan and Babe can't forget babe the Great Blue ox. Babe's always been one of my favorites,Thanks for filling in a few points I was a little hazy on.
ОтветитьSo, what you’re saying is that Chuck Norris is the modern day Paul Bunyan?
ОтветитьWas Paul ban van is the first giga Chad
ОтветитьJon please do one on the old lady who swallowed a fly
ОтветитьI love the 1958 Disney short about Paul Bunyan, which featured the great Thurl Ravenscroft voicing Paul. Though it's a stand-alone, it was later incorporated into the Ludwig Von Drake special Three Tall Tales--that's how I first saw it through the special's airings on HBO. Ludwig and his little insect buddy Herman (who looked like he could have been Jiminy Cricket's cousin) hosted it, with this short the third in the lineup. (Windwagon Smith and Casey At The Bat were the other ones.) Most memorable was the theme song, which was especially adorable when Ludwig and Herman sang it in the lead-in...
"Hey, Paul!
Paul Bunyan!
He's sixty-three axe handles high
With his feet on the ground and his head in the sky...
Hey, Paul...
Paul Bunyan!"
Have you ever looked into the Jonny Appleseed stories?
ОтветитьI wonder if he’s the guy on Brawny products.
ОтветитьHas anyone seen the 1994 movie Tall Tale? Growing up, I didn’t recognize that Swayze played Pacos Bill, and I think it broke my brain when I realized that little tidbit lol. In that movie, Babe is a bit sensitive. She stops trying to rescue them momentarily after Pecos insults her, and he has to apologize before she’ll start pulling again 🤣🤣🤣
ОтветитьHaha ha 69
ОтветитьI live in oregon and learned that Paul Bunyan made the willamette Valley by dragging his axe on the ground
ОтветитьAnd now he’s an anime girl
ОтветитьI can give you some information on a Russian story like this. There was a man un USSR, with the last name Vronow, who also liked to tell exadurated stories about himself. When writer Andey Necrasov heard these stories, he decided to write a book about them. However, affraid that a similar case like with Munchausen might happen, the author named his main character Christopher Bonifacievich Vroongel. One of these stories included how he wanted to make a voyage around the world, however his sail yacht got stuck, because it was fixed with fresh wood and got rooted to the shore. When they finaly released it using tug boat, a piece of land was torn off from the beach and was dragging after the boat. But troubles didn't end there: The yacht's name was actually "Pobeda" (victory) but due to the accident two letters were lost so it became "Beda" (trouble)
ОтветитьMy dad's names Paul bunyan 😅 but not many people have heard of this folklore where I'm from so didn't hear about this until I was older either, interesting hearing about it though!! 😊
