It's not a bad show, but I am sick of hearing the cast say over and over they break the law, make illegal moonshine, make income for themselves that apparently they often say they will starve in winter without, and insist on making hundreds of gallons because they "are preserving heritage"
Preserving the heritage could be done with a very small still at home and product for personal use. If the show is to be believed and these characters are really producing the amounts the show says..they is far beyond "preserving heritage" and into the realm of just being no different than a drug dealer...out to make money.
