What’s the Most Overlooked Prep in Your Opinion?

Nobody ever seems to talk about sanitation supplies—too much focus on food and ammo. How are you all prepping for hygiene if water’s scarce? Curious if folks stock up on alternatives like homemade soap or natural disinfectants.

Sanitation is the weak link for a lot of folks, honestly. Most just stash a few baby wipes and call it a day. I’ve been making my own soap for years—easier than most think—and store extra lye and essential oils, just in case. Also, can’t overlook buckets and sawdust for waste; even an improvised latrine is better than nothing. Anyone have tips for deodorizing small spaces without running water?

Totally agree about hygiene being overlooked—solar showers and hand-crank washing gadgets are a game changer for me. Anyone tried using vinegar or lemon as a cleaner when water's low?
