Though making your own tea and dandelion coffee isn't hard, as is oat milk, etc. Stockpile grains, sugar and luxury items like tea and coffee if you can't live without them. Know how to grow your own potatoes and vegetables and make sure you have a good cold and dark storage bunker to keep them (this will be essential when the refrigerators and freezers have no power). Own a good book on edible plants and fungi. Growth, foraging, hunting, preparation and storage. I'm happy that there is a culture to bring this slow living, homestead culture back, and nobody should be afraid of certain political groups co-opting the imagery or ideology of survival for nefarious means. Tom Hodgkinson at The Idler (I site we love) writes about these kinds of things. Sadly these things have been lost for a couple of generations. Basic instincts and survival were part of growing up and being self sufficient. Older folks will call it household keeping, living with nature, and not being dependent on a brittle modern consumerist society to provide for you.

Her third album to go platinum, Hasten Down the Wind spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard album charts. The album also included two songs co-written by Ronstadt, including one in Spanish (her first recorded foray into Spanish music, more than a decade before she released her first fully-Spanish album). The album included a cover of a cover: "The Tattler" by Washington Phillips, which Ry Cooder had re-arranged for his 1974 album Paradise and Lunch. The album showcased songs from artists such as Warren Zevon ("Hasten Down the Wind") and Karla Bonoff ("Someone to Lay Down Beside Me", US #42, Easy Listening #38), both of whom would soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. Hasten Down the Wind contained two major hit singles: Ronstadt's covers of Buddy Holly's " That'll Be the Day" (US Pop #11, Country #27) and her reworking of the late Patsy Cline's 1961 hit, " Crazy", reaching #6 on the US Country chart in early 1977. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. Ronstadt was the first female artist to accomplish this feat. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album. Hasten Down the Wind is the seventh studio album by singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt. ![]()
