What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

[PrepperLinda65]

Everyone talks about food, water, batteries, but there are a few items I rarely see on lists that have been game-changers in my own prepping. For me, it’s quality feminine hygiene supplies and incontinence products—things you may not personally need, but someone in your group might. I learned the hard way during a regional blackout years back that nobody else had even thought about it, and stores were cleaned out quick.

I also keep a stash of sturdy work gloves and backup reading glasses. Not the most glamorous

Totally agree on the gloves—easily forgotten but irreplaceable. I’d add good-quality needle and thread, too; a simple rip can become a big issue fast. Anyone else pack small sewing kits?
