My lifetime buddy who is the science teacher at the local jr. high school and he also home made powder over the stovetop. A few years back he burned-up the apartment and was evacuated for that reason. To help him out, we asked him to move in with us while he looked for a new place. During his stay, I came home one day and found an odd odor in the house that traced to the guest bedroom down stairs, as it turn out he was distilling liquor in the guestroom. Anyway, we had a buddy chat over his home brew and the conversation lead to a point where I asked why he is engross by this backwoods lifestyle and he told me it was inspired by some books he read..... that’s the first time I heard of the “Foxfire stories”.
