What ya think

I'm watching cause I would like to learn about Popcorn I think he is a cool dude. You can learn alot from old timers.

I worked all over The south and Appilacia was really a cool place to experience (this was back in the mid to late 80's) I worked on the railroad and got to see alot of really intresting stuff back in the hills and I met some really really intresting people along they way.

interesting for sure i was wondering how much is staged? The guy put his name on the show, they said what town he lives in, and hes on the fire dept, and yet he is making illegal moonshine just caught me as odd putting that much info out there.

He's the Voluntier Fire Cheif I thought that also as they said none of his fellow fire fighters know hes a moonshiner... well ... they do now smirk

one of the guys on the previews was on a documentary but he has a federal license so he makes legal shine but he was not on the first episode, when they were stopped on the bridge the guy on the atv didnt notice the tv cameras??? its staged, maybe not all of it but the main guy they had on the first episode is

Watching the show for the first time tonight. Is this show for real? Holy cow, it's worse than Gold Rush.

The only real thing about that show is Tickle being completely plastered the entire time.

See, I kind of liked it. To see that one grizzled old boy give it a taste and say it almost tasted good enough to drink made me want to drive south and get a tug off a mason jar grin.

I had been watching Operation Wildman before that so it was almost a Ol' Southern Boys marathon laughcrazylaugh

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
