The rescue tube is only useful if you bring it. Preparation that stays in the locker doesn’t count.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Preparation that is not present is the same as no preparation. You can own the right equipment, know the right method and have practised it, and none of that reaches the moment if it is in a locker when the moment arrives. Readiness is partly a logistics problem rather than a knowledge one. The gap between having something and having it with you catches people out constantly.

Look at what you rely on and ask where it actually is. Water bottle, charger, inhaler, notes, the form you were meant to bring. Build a small routine that puts those in your bag the night before rather than in the morning.
