What’s Your Most Overlooked Prep Item?

Wondering what prep item folks tend to overlook most often. For me, it's extra manual can openers—had one break mid-winter, never again! What's the item you always remember at the last minute, or wish you'd stocked up on sooner?
 
Extra reading glasses always fly under the radar for me—I stash them everywhere now after breaking my favorite pair during a power outage. It’s wild how fast you realize how much you need them for all sorts of tasks, even just reading labels on jars or first aid instructions. Anyone else have a “can’t do without” item that seems silly until you really, really need it?
