[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 283268, member: 7537"] It is funny you made mention of the still.....My grandfather was born and raised in the mountains outside of Anniston.....he too did not have electricity until about 20 years ago. He said the same exact thing you did.....a man with a still has real bartering power in the time of crisis. He live through prohibition as a child and his family survived on firewater. They always had huge gardens and canned all of their own food. When we would visit there was a certain honk of the horn as you came onto his property......if you did not use the honk method you would be greeted with several large dogs and a long tom shotgun. He passed several years ago, but the stories he told us made me appreciate my style of living compared to the way he grew up. If it came down to it I would probably move to the mountains. [/QUOTE]
