Top 3 Items You’d Grab in an Evacuation?

If you had to evacuate fast—let’s say 5 minutes or less—what are the first three things you’d grab on your way out? I’m rethinking my own go-bag setup and curious what others prioritize. My gut says first aid kit (with some natural remedies), water filter, and important docs, but I keep wondering if I’m missing something obvious. Batteries? Firestarter? What’s on your must-grab list?
 
Jumping right in—my top three would be my small bag with ID/meds, the pouch with seeds (old habit), and my water filter bottle. Important docs are a must but having seeds gives me some weird comfort, almost like security. Wondering if anyone
 
Seeds as a comfort item—never thought of that but it makes sense, especially if you’re into gardening or planning ahead longer term. For me, meds and ID always top the list, then my first aid kit (nurse habits die hard), and a water filter. I try to keep copies of the most important docs in a waterproof bag too. Does anyone pack a spare charger or solar bank, or am I just overthinking that part?
