What Skill Should Every Prepper Learn First?

If you could only pick one foundational skill to master before anything else, what would it be? I keep coming back to basic first aid, since without health, nothing else matters much. But lately I've been reading about water purification and realizing how quickly things go south without safe drinking water. Curious where folks here think the starting line really is—medical, water, fire, or something else? Any tips on prioritizing skill-building would be appreciated.
