I just started watching a few of these episodes....they are HILARIOUS!......yet whiskey making/moon shining represent generations of hard working honest folks trying to put food on the table for their families originally.When it began it was generational learned knowledge brought over from the immigrants from the hills of Scotland. Any man w/ family who settled into the Appalachian Mtns and could not find work went back to what they were taught since they were kids----making quality 'shine in order to just survive in those early Appalachian days. They did not do it for flair, to write books, nor for any TV series. Legends like "Popcorn Sutton" and "Jim Tom" hopefully will live on for many folks and for many years. Many early makers had just enough money to keep roofs over their families heads....lived in what today we would call "shacks"...yet they never wanted to be in the "Keep up with the Joneses" rat race. They wanted simple lives and to live off the land that God provided for them. Sure some got greedy and the love of that greenback, but. most shiners just wanted enough "likker" for family-- friends who would stop in and socialize on the front porches and have simple fun.
