What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

Every time I go through my gear, I realize there's always that one item I neglected or didn’t think much about until recently. For me, it used to be spare eyeglasses—never crossed my mind how rough things would get without 'em if mine broke. Now I keep at least two backups in my pack and vehicle.

Curious what items others tend to overlook in their kits? Not talking about the big stuff—food, water, shelter—but the little things that could make all the difference. Stuff like manual can openers, sewing kits, or even extra chargers for handheld comms. I find a lot of folks forget about maintenance items for gear or ways to keep small electronics

Toothbrushes and floss—always seem to slip my mind, but nothing ruins your day like gum pain. Anyone else keep an extra stash in different bags just in case?
