What’s the Most Overlooked Prep in Your Opinion?

Most folks talk about water, food, and defense, but comms seem to get left behind way too often. When the grid's down, cell towers are dead, and everyone's scrambling, how do you reach your people or get news? Even a cheap handheld ham radio can make a huge difference. Do you guys have backup communication plans or practice radio protocols with your group? Curious what other preps you think get brushed aside that could make or break things in a real scenario.

Sanitation is the big one that hardly gets any talk, if you ask me. No one wants to think about waste management until there's no running water—and then it gets real messy, real fast. Buckets, liners, bleach, even just having enough TP or wet wipes—so easy to overlook. Have you ever tried setting up a basic latrine as a drill? It’s not as simple as it seems.
