As a prepper, I’m always amazed how seldom anybody includes a long-term supply of progressive strength reading glasses in their list of preps. Nobody I know will be able to take advantage of a damn thing on all those downloads once their reading glasses - which seem to have a half-life of about a month, in the best of times - get lost or broken or irredeemably scratched.
Heck, can’t even see the front sight on my pistol without them.
They sell them by the dozens for about $1-2 each on EBay. Stock up! They’ll make great barter items for old coots as well.
Skillsets are important...

You had to mention glasses. I had cataract surgery on both eyes from April of this year until the end of June. Takes forever to get both done. The thing is, they permanently “set” both eyes. One is set for far distance and it only sees that. The other one is set for medium distance and it only sees that.
That means you CAN'T READ JACK unless you have glasses. Neither eye can read. That just blew my mind because I am reading all day. As a result, I have FOUR PAIR OF READING GLASSES. Two are prescription and two are from the drug store. One from the drug store is a tiny pair in a hard case in my purse. If I broke my glasses while in my car, I couldn't read anything and I might have to do that to get back home. I wear one pair of the prescription, have another prescription pair for backup and another drug store one for backup. FOUR PAIR.
Preppers need to be able to see - BUY GLASSES.
