What’s Your Top “Must Have” Item for Bug Out Bags?

If you had to pick just one “must have” item for your bug out bag, what would it be? For me, a reliable water filter tops the list—there’s just too many unknowns with natural water sources. I’m curious if others prioritize medical, food, or shelter first. Do you folks have a brand or type of filter you trust? Always interested to see what other experienced preppers
 
Water filter is my number one too—can’t eat or heal wounds without safe water. I use a Sawyer Mini; lightweight and hasn’t failed me yet. Anyone try the Grayl filters?
