What’s Your Top Overlooked Prep Item?

[ChamomileCraze]

Everyone talks about water filters, knives, and first aid kits, but I rarely see much mention of plain old baking soda. It’s good for everything—cleaning, deodorizing, even first aid like soothing insect bites or heartburn. I keep a few pounds in my supplies and rotate it regularly. What’s something in your kit that you don’t hear folks discussing much but wouldn’t want to be without? Always curious what slips through the cracks for others.

Baking soda’s a great pick—I’m surprised more folks don’t bring it up! For me, it’s safety pins; they’re tiny but can fix almost anything or make do in a pinch.
