What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

It’s easy to focus on food and water, but I realized most folks don’t think much about backup eyeglasses. Lost or broken specs could be a huge problem if things go sideways, especially for those of us who rely on them daily. What’s your most overlooked item in your preps? Curious to see what others tend to forget about until it’s almost too late.

Can’t count the number of times I’ve almost forgotten spare shoe laces. Might sound minor, but busted laces in the wrong moment can turn a hike or bug-out into a real headache. I always try to toss a couple extra in the bag now—lightweight and handy for all sorts of repairs, too. Anyone else stash oddball repair stuff like that?
