What’s Your #1 Most Overlooked Prep Item?

[MarigoldBreeze]

So many lists out there, but I’m convinced most folks forget about manual can openers—especially sturdy ones that don’t break after a week. Batteries lose juice, power goes out, and then all that canned food’s useless without a way in. What’s the one item you think most people overlook, but really shouldn’t? Curious to see what others have stashed away that doesn’t top the typical lists.

People always forget about prescription glasses or reading glasses! In a real emergency, losing or breaking your only pair turns everything into a struggle, especially if you’re dealing with tiny print or trying to work with your hands. I keep an extra pair in every bag, plus a few of those cheap magnifiers. Has anyone else run into trouble because they didn’t have the right vision?
