What creates the need for resources? How do people get in the position of needing these resources?

Shame on me. My apologies, Dickey. I misread and misenterpreted the above statement. I'm not sure if it is because of my own cognitive distortions, or if the question is so absurd that I didn't take it in at first. I missed that you are actually wondering why anyone would need any resources.

Most people need food if they are going to eat. Without the resource of food, they go hungry, and, eventually, starve.

There are some climates in the world where people probably don't actually need any clothes. They may need shade (but that would be shelter.) It might be nice if they have luxuries like animal fat to attempt to ward off hordes of mosquitos. However, if they stay to windward, the wind might be luxury enough. In most climates on earth, however, the protection of clothing during certain parts of the year is essential to survival. Clothing, be it cloth, woven from grasses, or a deerhide thrown around oneself, is a resource.

In any climate in the world, there will be, at least occasionally, the need for shelter. That shelter might be a house, a hut, a tent, a cave, a tree, or a hole inthe ground. That shelter is a resource.

Now, how do people get in the position of needing resources? Well, if they don't care if they live or not, I guess they don't need resources. If, as a general rule, physical survival doesn't matter, then people don't need the resource of food. People don't need the resource of water. People don't need shelter or covering to insure they don't freeze to death.

Dickey, people get in the position of needing resources by virtue of feeling like they need to stay alive. I'm surprised you have never figured that one out.
