He fired it up and the damn thing worked.
You should catch that episode, I think it's titled "Let her rip".

I actually did see that episode. If I remember correctly it was the same guy that built the catapult that ended up flinging the homemade chinese stars about 25 feet. Oh well, never know until you try i guess.
From a standpoint of if you knew shit really was gonna hit the fan, I had a few favorite episodes of DD preppers I saw this year where dudes would be perfectly setup.
I really liked the guy that had the facial recognition software on entrance to his house. He also had the gate that could stop a dump tuck at 50mph along with embassy tinting all of the windows in his house. I thought the pepper spray mounted on the wall warning someone it was gonna go off was a little hokey. But I did like the 50 caliber beowulf he shot. I liked it so much I just built a lower receiver to put it on and plan to pick one up once the crazy gun prices start to come down.
I also like the guy that lived in the middle of nowhere in Kansas, he cooled his house by running the air intake underground and having the earth cool it. I thought that was genius. He also built the house they lived in and from the looks of it was a very talented carpenter.
I also liked the guy in Alaska that would head up river and drop tree's along the way so people couldn't follow him into the wilderness. People in Alaska are a special bread, I love their fuck the government mentality.
