Plot Synopsis

MASTERS OF DISASTER is a one-hour reality series that follows mechanic Beau Boruff, as he leads a talented crew of craftsmen who source, restore, and sell vintage objects that may be useful in any calamity. What's old isn't just new again -- come doomsday, it'll save your life! Whether threatened by hurricane, power outage or nuclear fallout, most of today's devices that we rely on won't work in a catastrophe -- if the internet crashes and power fails modern technology could be rendered useless. Knowing this, survivalists and preppers are on the hunt for bygone technology that will work in any worst-case scenario. In this series, on the outskirts of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Beau and his crew show how an old-fashioned whiskey still can be used to create ethanol and power most modern gasoline engines. Among the other items restored in MASTERS OF DISASTER are: a 1950s OC-6 Crawler Tractor capable of climbing any terrain, a well drilling rig from the 1920s so you'll never run out of fresh water, and even a Velocipede railroad handcar from the 1880s that could be your transportation lifeline if the highways are clogged.
