What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

[MeadowWhisperer]

Everyone talks about water filters, first aid, and canned food, but I rarely see folks mention extra pairs of reading glasses as a backup. If you’re like me and need them to read labels, instructions, or even maps, not having a spare could be a real issue in a crisis. What’s the most overlooked item in your prepping stash? Curious if anyone else has a small but crucial item they always pack.

Dental floss gets overlooked all the time! It’s tiny, light, and comes in handy for more than just teeth—stitching up torn gear, fishing line in a pinch, even tying up plants if needed. I also stash some moisturizer or lip balm, because cracked hands and lips get miserable fast, especially if you’re outside a lot. Curious—anyone else keep weird multipurpose things like that in their kits?
