The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated just how important resilience and resourcefulness is when facing difficult times. While many people were unprepared to handle the sudden shift, those with existing established systems fared better than those who had to start fresh. The recent fuel shortage, for example, could have been much worse if not for individuals who anticipated the issue and stored resources in advance. Furthermore, economic turmoil has driven many to find cheaper alternatives for food, energy, medical care, and other essentials as a way of coping with shortages or exorbitant prices. The ability to adapt quickly and effectively is key in such situations.
