What’s One Prep Item You Can’t Live Without?

If I had to pick just one item, a high-quality water filter would top my list. Clean water is absolutely essential and too easy to take for granted. Curious what everyone else would choose if you could only have one key piece of gear—what’s your non-negotiable, and have you had to use it in a real emergency? Always interested in hearing about things that have actually held up when it counted.
 
Solar charger, hands down. When the power went out for days after that ice storm a few years ago, being able to keep my radio, lantern, and even a tiny speaker going made a world of difference. It’s not flashy but man, having some steady juice without relying on the grid feels pretty crucial. Anybody found a small solar setup that’s truly durable in rough weather?
