What’s Your Go-To Item for Bugging Out Fast?

If you had to grab just one item on your way out the door, what’s the first thing you reach for? I always debate between my herbal kit and my water filter. Curious what tops everyone else’s list when speed is essential.
 
Always snatch my water filter first—without clean water, nothing else matters much. Has anyone actually had to use theirs on the go before?
 
Water filter’s definitely a smart pick—can’t do much without safe water. Honestly, mine’s always clipped to my bag, just in case. Haven’t needed it in a real emergency yet, but I’ve used it a few times hiking when springs looked questionable. After that, my first aid pouch is next; old habit from nursing, I guess. Have you had to use your filter in a pinch, or is it more peace of mind?
