Resilience is really about bouncing back when things go sideways, not just having gear. Ever had a moment where your plan totally changed and you had to improvise?

 

[PrepperLinda65]

Absolutely agree—mindset matters more than any stockpile. Once had to patch up a cut with just a scarf and superglue when my kit ran dry; adaptability saved the day. Ever improvised first aid?

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" is one I come back to often. There was a winter storm years back when power went out for days—our canned food and a bit of old-fashioned determination made all the difference. I think OldTimerJohn’s right: it’s more about mindset than just having stuff on a shelf. Resilience really shows when you’re tired, cold, and still find a way forward. Anyone else have a favorite quote that keeps them steady when things get rough?
