Meet “Austin Chambers”

Writer, Gunner’s Mate 2PO, DOD Civilian, HAM Radio Tech, Ex-FF/EMT, Student of the Gun, Prepper 

A Gulf War Veteran, I was staring 50 in the face, thinking about all those times I said, “I’m gonna write a book one day…” So I did. Along the way I learned that writing it is the easy part. The real “fun” has been learning to self-publish and turn this into a business.

Crossed Cannons Readiness

Crossed Cannons Readiness
Sorry I disappeared, friends. I needed to take some time to finish my trilogy and take care of some personal matters. Two big announcements! I quit my Job! And…this channel and my accompanying blog will (eventually) morph into a re-brand called Crossed Cannons Readiness, and sub-branch of my new LLC Crossed Cannons Publishing! More to follow!

I’m Austin Chambers, the author of the Cascadia Fallen action trilogy and the spin-off series coming in 2021. I had to dig deep into research to make this story as authentic as possible. However bad you think it will be, multiply it by ten—probably…As you see in this video, there is one major factor that may make things not as “bad as they could’ve been.” Please Rumble (see what I did there?!), Comment & Share!

UPDATE: As noted in the pinned comment, this is NOT made in America. i stand corrected. Deeper research into the product revealed the MR does outsource some product lines to the Philippines and Vietnam. This bag is one of those. I still stand by the quality of this bag. Today I give an honest assessment of a recent purchase, the Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24 EDC backpack. This thing is rugged, comfortable, easy to access, and doesn’t scream “tacti-cool”. You know what would go well with this pack. A new Patriotic facemask from Alpha Defense Company!

This is Part Two of a series based on a more in-depth blog series I’m doing. This video talks about modifying you workouts to deal with issues; starting to incorporate dry-fire training with heart-pumping practical exercises; and thing sto consider for taking up Jiu Jitsu. The series is about getting ourselves ready to do posse activities, as the time is rapidly approaching. It could range from a home invasion to accidentally driving into a violent protest to gathering your posse to reestablish order in your town. The concept is to work on your own mindset, discipline, and nutrition as the foundation for ramping up your physical training.

I give a quick tour of the ammo can where I keep some of my surplus radio gear staged and ready for bug out. I prefer to keep the gasket in the can, as water is a much more likely hazard in Washington State than an EMP. For best EMF protection, the gasket should be replaced with steel wool.
