Why Owning a Moonshine Still Is a Tool for Survival
Stills are more than just distilling equipment—they are a vital tool for survival, much like a firearm. Whether life continues as normal or we face a natural disaster, war, or a catastrophic event, owning your own still offers incredible advantages. Just as a gun represents protection and independence, a still represents self-reliance, freedom, and preparedness for any situation.
From Hollywood survival films to real-world crises, we’ve all seen how fragile daily life can become. But it’s not just fiction—look at recent world events, water contamination issues like the Flint, MI crisis, and increasing global instability. Having the right survival tools, including a high-quality copper moonshine still, can make a real difference when resources become scarce.
More Than Moonshine: The Many Uses of a Still
Stills are commonly used to make spirits, distill water, produce essential oils, and even create small batches of fuel. But in true emergency or survival situations, a still becomes a life-saving device.
A quality copper still can be used to produce antiseptic alcohol when supplies are cut off. Having a still on hand allows you to distill alcohol strong enough to disinfect wounds, clean tools, or even soothe a painful toothache when professional medical help is unavailable. When making alcohol for antiseptic use, remember that potency matters—commercial antiseptic alcohol is typically around 70% ABV.
Distilled Alcohol: A Survival Cleaning Solution
In a survival or disaster scenario, contamination spreads quickly. Alcohol from your still can be used to disinfect surfaces, tools, or even medical instruments. During times of war or pandemic—such as the Spanish Flu or even the Black Plague—infectious diseases often spread through surface contact. Having a reliable supply of distilled alcohol for cleaning could quite literally save your life.
