I remember my dad using chicken feed sacks tacked to the walls for insulation, nothin but a wood stove for heat. Mom and dad stayed on the bottom bunk and me on the top bunk in a little shack in Arkansas. Those were simple times with simple survival lol.
Simple survival your absolutely right, people did what they had to, i remember when i was about 10 years old and the house we had didnt hold heat very well and we used kerosene heaters, well that one winter it was super cold and our water pipes for the bathroom froze up and busted so we had no water in the bathroom at all so when it came time to get a bath my parents had these 2 giant pots im guessing about 10 gallon each, and they would fill them both up with water then heat it on the stove which took about an hour and a half then once the water got warm my dad would dump it in the tub and thats how we took our baths all winter long until the spring when my dad was finally able to dig up the well a get the pipes fixed, it really sucked having to do that, but we did what we had to..
I remember the aluminum ice trays with the pull handle. If water was run over the tray for a minute before pulling the handle the ice tray would last forever.
Hey this is great love the videos brings back a time that everyone has lost I feel it man if everyone could here would gone to he'll in a hand basket mabe just make they all might think a little different.old school boy Nathan James Oregon boy living in the woods born and raised rest in peace popcorn great head stone to. He'll yeah out their for sucker punch films heck yeah guys.
I enjoy listening to Popcorn. I met him once at the Moonshiners convention in dawsonville ga. I think these stories are fascinating but I’m not one of those people that say I’d love to live like that. Shoot no, I like being cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I got to have some sweat on my beer.
Yep Popcorn your right my grandparents house had 3 outlets in the whole house. Living room, kitchen, and one bedroom. Then each room had a light socket on the ceiling and that's it. 5 of them that's all the wiring in the whole house. Built in 1890's
It's funny he says all this second hand stuff but it's been reported that he had a net worth of $13 Million. I don't know if thats true but I'm sure with his notoriety & television appearences he must've been able to buy a few new things xD
The owner of this channel who interviewed him clarified in a previous video that that rumor is false - he died a poor man in terms of cash, but a rich man in terms of wisdom and life experience.
I could sit all day and talk with him about all the thing passed and current but he is not here no more because of them saying can't have moon shine but sell it in store and his own recipe shame what they did to this man going to lock him up then they start selling it damn shame
The real tragedy is that there is only a limited amount of these popcorn stories ever filmed...I could listen to him for hours on end
Love these old interviews with Popcorn! He was a fascinating guy. His stories from back in the day were great.
Agreed, Hell of a fascinating & down too earth kind a guy.👍
