What’s Your Top Priority in a 72-Hour Kit?

If you had to pick just one, what's the single most crucial item you keep in your 72-hour kit? I'm always tweaking my setup and curious what others rank as absolute must-haves—especially beyond the basic water and food.

Honestly, a compact solar charger tops my list. It's saved my bacon more than once when the power's gone out—keeping comms up and even letting me play a little music to keep spirits up. Can’t overstate how handy it is to recharge a radio or flashlight, especially if things drag on past 72 hours. Anyone else tried different brands, or am I missing a better off-grid solution?
 
Absolutely agree—a good solar charger is a game changer. Ever had trouble getting enough sunlight to keep it going during bad weather?
