What’s the One Prep Item You Won’t Go Without?

If you had to pick just one item for your go-bag, what would it be? For me, a solid tourniquet tops the list—can’t fix much else if you can’t stop a bleed. Curious what others here consider absolutely non-negotiable.

Water filter always comes first for me. If you can’t drink safely, it doesn’t matter how much food or gear you’ve got—dehydration sets in fast, and bad water will knock you out quick. I keep a Sawyer Mini in every bag. Tourniquet’s smart too, but I figure most emergencies I’ve faced, water’s been my biggest concern. Curious, does anyone here go with purification tablets instead?
