Keep on preparing! It is often true that: opportunity + preparation = luck.

I recall the stories of native americans coming upon starving and sick settlers, not even conceiving those folks could be sufffering such things, because all around them were wild plants for food and medicine. One sad but classic case was wagon train members suffering from scurvy that could easily have been prevented and cured by tea made from the needles of the pine and other conifers all around them.
