What’s Your Most Overlooked Survival Item?

[ChamomileCraze]

Wool socks rarely make anyone’s top ten, but I’ve found them absolutely essential. They keep feet warm even when wet, dry surprisingly fast, and last a long time. I stash extra pairs in every bag just in case. Anyone else have an item you find indispensable but nobody seems to talk about much? Curious what overlooked basics get a spot in your kits.

Absolutely spot on about wool socks—can’t tell you how many times I’ve regretted not packing a few extra. They really do stay warm even after getting drenched, which is a lifesaver if you’re stuck in cold, wet weather. Funny how something as simple as good socks gets overlooked for fancy gadgets
