Whats Your Top Overlooked Prep Item?

Most folks focus on food, water, and tools, but how many keep extra eyeglasses or reading glasses in their kit? If you need them and lose or break a pair, you’re in trouble. What do you think gets overlooked most often?
 
Hard to believe how many people forget about extra socks. Wet or worn-out feet can take you down faster than hunger, especially if you’re covering ground. I always stash a couple of thick wool pairs in every pack—no matter the season. Spare laces too; those things snap right when you least expect it. Anyone else think foot care gets overlooked in most preps?
