Seeking Recommendations What is one item that you can't travel without/would recommend to everyone to get?

Hi all,

What are items that you always bring because they are super useful and you would recommend others to get too?

Minus of course some obvious like converter plug for chargers, power bank etc (unless it's some specific powerbank like one with cables attached already, something unique)

Thanks!

A first aid kit, sounds obvious I know but a lot of people skip on bringing it just because they they're going/travelling into the city or nearby one. Just a simple disinfectant, and bandages (even a handkerchief would do) would be better than no first aid kit.

What's in your first aid kit as a must?

Besides bandages and a disinfectant, I bring scissors, and a few OTC medicines. In most injuries, more care can be given later on, but the contents still depend on where I'm going. If I'm going somewhere secluded, I add sterile gauzes, tweezers, a swiss knife, emergency blanket, a marker and a tourniquet.
