What’s One Prep You Always Forget Until It’s Too Late?

Spare batteries for headlamps always slip my mind until I need them most. Anyone else forget something basic like that? Curious what slips through the cracks for others so I can add it to my checklist.

Headlamp batteries get me every time too! I also always forget to stock matches—funny how the tiniest things feel invisible until you're stumbling around in the dark.
 
Hand sanitizer! Always think I have a little bottle somewhere, but when I actually need it, the thing’s bone dry or missing. Funny how those little comfort items don’t stick in the memory like food or batteries. Anyone have a trick for keeping up with the small stuff—like a checklist or something visual?
