S1, E3: R.E.M's "It's the End of the World as We Know It" might be a good mantra for these three individuals who are readying for the end of days. Phoenix, AZ., dad Tim Ralston is prepared for an electromagnetic pulse attack on America. Jason Charles is a New York firefighter preparing for the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano. He's storing meals ready to eat and water in his city apartment. Pat Brabble is a churchgoing Southern gentleman with a twist: He believes our country is on the brink of hyperinflation, which will unleash civil unrest all across the country."
