What’s the Most Overlooked Prep in Your Opinion?

So many folks stockpile food, water and gear, but I rarely see much discussion about sanitation beyond baby wipes and bleach. Long-term waste management seems like the thing that’ll sneak up on people fastest. What practical setups are you all planning if the grid goes down for months? I’m curious if anyone’s actually built or tested a composting toilet or other off-grid sanitation solutions, and how it worked in real conditions.
 
Sanitation absolutely gets ignored until it's too late. Built a basic sawdust composting toilet last year—works surprisingly well, but managing it in winter's a whole different beast. Anyone tried worm bins?
