What’s The Most Overlooked Prep In Your Supplies?

It’s easy to get caught up in food, water, and first aid, but I rarely see folks talk about keeping spare prescription glasses or reading glasses in their kits. If I lose or break mine, reading small labels or manuals could become a real problem. What’s the one item you think people most often overlook (besides the obvious basics)? Would love to hear what gaps you’ve spotted in your own supplies.
 
Moisturizer or something for dry, cracked skin always seems to get forgotten. In a stressful situation, having split skin on your hands or lips can make everything harder, especially if you’re having to do manual work or you're exposed to the elements. I always tuck in a tiny tin of balm or petroleum jelly. Curious if anyone’s ever actually needed to use theirs in an emergency?
