What’s Your Most Underrated Prepping Skill?

[CeruleanScribe]

Nobody talks much about basic sewing—fixing gear and clothes could make a huge difference long-term. I’m curious what other skills you all think fly under the radar but might prove crucial when things go sideways. What do you prioritize that most folks overlook?

Knowing how to identify wild plants for food and basic medicine is so overlooked. Folks always stock up on bottled stuff, but the right leaf or root can sometimes do more than a first aid kit, especially for minor things. Being able to grow or forage just what you need gives a kind of peace you can’t buy. Anyone else focus on plant skills, or is that just me being old-fashioned?
