constituted
Describes the nature, properties, or condition of something. It expresses how something is made, constituted, or structured.
Das Material ist so beschaffen, dass es kein Wasser durchlässt.
The material is constituted in such a way that it does not let water through.
The adjective 'beschaffen' (constituted) is the past participle form of the verb 'beschaffen' (to obtain/procure something). As an adjective, however, it has its own meaning and describes the nature or property of something, that is, how it is 'made'.
Die Oberfläche des Tisches ist sehr glatt beschaffen.
The surface of the table is very smooth in texture.
This adjective is almost always used predicatively, meaning after a verb such as 'sein' (to be). Using it directly before a noun (attributively) is very rare and often sounds unnatural.
Der Boden in dieser Region ist sehr steinig beschaffen.
The soil in this region is very rocky in nature.
'Beschaffen' (constituted) is often specified more closely by an adverb that describes the type of property. Typical combinations are 'gut/schlecht beschaffen' (well/poorly constituted), 'so/anders beschaffen' (constituted like this/differently), or 'merkwürdig beschaffen' (strangely constituted).
Das Werkzeug ist so beschaffen, dass man sich nicht verletzen kann.
The tool is designed in such a way that you cannot injure yourself.
to organize
Organisieren can informally mean obtaining the equipment needed. Here, however, Beschaffen is listed as an adjective and describes the type or condition of something. In this usage, it therefore does not mean obtaining something, but describes the equipment’s properties.
Für den Ausflug muss die Ausrüstung leicht und stabil beschaffen sein.
For the outing, the equipment must be lightweight and sturdy.
Für den Ausflug organisiert Ben kurzfristig eine geeignete Ausrüstung.
Ben quickly gets suitable equipment for the outing.
