What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

Been thinking about the little things that slip through the cracks when stocking up. For me, it’s always spare eyeglasses—hard to do much if you break or lose your only pair. What’s the item in your kit that you think most folks forget until it’s too late? Interested to hear if there’s something I should add that I’m still overlooking.
 
Dental floss is the one I rarely see mentioned but always toss in my kit. It's not just for teeth—super handy for sewing up gear or even as emergency fishing line. Folks talk a lot about duct tape, but honestly, floss is way lighter and has saved me more than once. Anyone else stash weird “multi-use” items like that?
