What’s Your #1 Most Overlooked Prep Item?

[TeaTimeTalisman]

It seems like everyone stocks up on food, water, and first-aid kits, but I rarely see much talk about spare eyeglasses or reading glasses. Without good eyesight, a lot of survival tasks become way harder. What else do you think folks tend to overlook in their preps? Maybe there's a small item you always include that most forget? I’m curious what makes your “don’t forget” list.

You’re spot on about eyesight—almost impossible to thread a needle or read labels without it! I’d add that people overlook wound care stuff, like extra bandages or antibiotic ointment, way more than they realize.
