What’s the Most Overlooked Prep in Your Opinion?

Seems like everyone stocks beans, bullets, and band-aids, but few talk about sanitation beyond basic wet wipes. In a long-term situation, keeping clean and managing waste is critical to avoid disease outbreaks. What’s everyone doing for off-grid waste disposal, and do you think it’s as overlooked as I do
 
Sanitation is absolutely overlooked, especially once the TP runs out and the trash piles up. People don’t realize how fast things can get unhealthy without a solid waste plan. I’ve been experimenting with composting toilets and using wood ash for odor control—works pretty well if you’ve got the space and a bit of privacy. Curious, has anyone tried managing greywater safely for garden use?
 
Absolutely agree, folks forget how vital real waste management is—humanure setups work if you stick to the temps and compost times. Anyone tried sawdust instead of wood ash?
