When you may have your car lawnmower and a family John stepped in your garage but for one Arizona man it is the staging area for doomsday.

And he is not the only one.

The supplies and tools he needs to survive the apocalypse.

Whichever way it may come.

It's a passion put together.

-- -- we probably spent anywhere from 2030000.

On all the -- supplies that.

We gotta get this stuff put up.

Anybody that doesn't take their own self preservation the heart is doomed for failure I -- it did.

My major concern is an electromagnetic.

Pulse -- EMP.

-- -- Indian -- surge of electrical energy.

It has the power to wipe out every electrical appliance in -- The central United States he would likely cause a nationwide you.

Russia and China.

North Korea they all have the technology for -- We have -- more electricity.

That's Tim Ralston one of the post featured on -- GAO's doomsday preparers and he's my -- now.

Tim welcome our right so and I confess you got us a little freaked out here watching -- your own predictions.

They call they that is a piece that talks about this says apocalyptic.

Schism as though it's a type of disorder from which -- suffer.

We do take issue with that.

Act I would I think that that sensationalize word but.

I think that -- proper.

He's just a little bit calmed down in regards to survivalist it's really just average Americans taking their own survival in their own hands it's.

Kind of taking what FEMA is out there and preaching to us -- we have to have.

Three seven days worth -- resource is to protect our family -- from whatever crisis is out there whether it's an EMP or it's just a natural disaster.

-- the prepping movement has really grown and it's people just trying to empower themselves I think.

What do you make of the you know of them met a vast majority of Americans millions -- minds of people who are not doing anything to prep for doomsday.

You know I think it's really irresponsible in -- the father of three kids and the last thing I can even imagine is looking in their eyes you know if and a disaster happen.

Whether it be something like Katrina that ever -- can kind of wrapped their arms around because it's happened.

You know people can have a normalcy -- where they think I'll never happen to me and if it does it won't be that bad but if your kids are there depending on you as.

You know the guy who makes the decisions in the Stanley.

And you are not there did to help them out ideas and I think that's just really responsible so now it's I think it's up to the parents to step up.

At first it sounded you know -- like some of the stuff is a good idea having some canned -- having some water and so on and then they told me about the trouble.

That you've invented at which is a thirteen survival tool in one and it's been raided a quote number one zombie killer and that's where you lost me ten.

Are you off there Ed -- land worrying about is obviously no end -- You know you're my wife for in the same boat she doesn't get the whole zombie movement not in order live but -- -- -- -- I really designed it for the campers in the survivalist that are out there it allows you to combine a lot of tool also appeared.

-- carry a lot of stuff out in the woods to go camping eight lightens your load and I really made it.

Another reason too is.

-- listen to you know every -- say we're losing jobs so I started this tool company that makes the -- -- now we employed.

400 workers.

That this is made in America I tried to bring some jobs back.

To the United States and it's my little way of -- and out.

Now not only do you have -- the credible so thank you for the -- the pronunciation and that but you.

You above your boys in this you mentioned your children and I understand when you were filming the Nat geo episode.

Your thumb off.

He actually it's not off it's a -- digit now I had a tremendous malfunction with the new.

But they let's see a brand new weapon is -- see it it's really tiny -- movie is ill it.

-- he adds little midget did you but it's okay it's set and that's that preparers mindset is being able to look past those things and and you know be able to -- moving forward and survive it's the units that will to survive.

But yeah it was bad bad accident just glad happening me not my kid.

Let you know it's Murphy's law you never know what what's gonna happen so just like you're prepared for.

In addition to that.

-- crumble what what else you have general to prepare he -- for any disaster not necessarily just you know you.

Exactly it's -- -- that power outage you know week.

We have our website that basically had everything from you know solar powered generators two water filtration systems.

Just about everything you would need you know he covered the basics of life food water shelter protection if you can cover those bases.

No matter how big or small -- the -- -- show tends to get the people that are taking it you know to the very edge.

But I think every American should take it even.

You know a little -- they got to take a little bit of action to you know to -- look after their own.

I get a governor quickly how long could you survive without food waters on how much do you have to get by on.

You know I'm I'm preparing for at least a year to two years if I had to.

But it's you know that's the worst I'm hoping for the best.

And thank you hope you feel better thank you reference.

And thank them -- they.
