    The Prepster Backpack 3-Day Emergency Bag

    The Prepster Backpack is a one-person, three-day emergency kit designed around a hands-free carry format. It combines food, water, first-aid, backup charging, lighting, shelter and practical tools in a structured backpack made in Los Angeles from water-resistant canvas and natural leather.

    The metal-framed bag is designed to stay accessible rather than hidden away, with a lifetime guarantee from Preppi. Inside are core emergency supplies plus premium personal-care and comfort items, while the Jet Black colorway adds reflective artwork for enhanced low-light visibility.

    Shipping details

    What is processing time?

    Processing time is the period between placing your order and the package being handed to the shipping carrier.

    Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.

    During this time, your item may be picked, prepared, produced, finished, assembled, personalized, packed, or otherwise made ready for shipment.

    Shipping time does not include processing time. Carrier transit begins after processing is complete and the package has been accepted for shipment.

    Where does my order ship from?

    My American Goods® uses a hybrid fulfillment model.

    • Some products are stocked and shipped directly by My American Goods.
    • Other products ship directly from the independent American brand or maker.

    This allows us to offer a much broader selection of American-made products while supporting the independent businesses that make them.

    Why might my order arrive in multiple packages?

    Products in the same order may ship from different fulfillment locations.

    As a result, items may:

    • Ship on different days
    • Arrive in separate packages
    • Have different tracking numbers
    • Use different shipping carriers or services

    Receiving one package does not necessarily mean the rest of your order is missing.

    How are shipping rates calculated?

    Because products may ship from different makers and fulfillment locations, shipping rates can vary by product or brand.

    • Some products or brands qualify for free shipping above a specific threshold.
    • Other products may use flat-rate or carrier-calculated shipping.
    • Products shipping from separate locations may generate separate shipping charges.

    The applicable shipping cost is shown before your order is completed.

    When will I receive tracking?

    Tracking information is emailed once your item has been prepared and shipped.

    For handmade, made-to-order, pre-order, or specialty products, tracking may not be available until the applicable preparation or production period is complete.

    If the expected processing period for your item has passed and you have not received a shipping update, please contact us.

    Carrier delays & missing packages

    After a package has been accepted by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or another shipping carrier, transit may be affected by weather, holidays, peak-volume periods, transportation disruptions, or other carrier conditions outside our control.

    Shipping and delivery timelines are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

    If tracking shows Delivered but you cannot locate the package, check:

    • Household members
    • Neighbors
    • Porches, side doors, garages, and other delivery areas
    • Parcel lockers or building mailrooms

    Carrier scans can occasionally appear shortly before final delivery. If the package still cannot be located, we can assist with a carrier investigation.

    Shipping address accuracy

    Please review your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

    Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

    Packages returned because of an incorrect, incomplete, or undeliverable address may require additional shipping charges before they can be sent again.

    Where does My American Goods ship?

    My American Goods® currently ships within the United States only.

    Report the issue within 7 days of delivery. We may request clear photos of:

    • The item and the reported issue
    • The product packaging and seals

    Cancellations and exchanges

    Order changes and cancellations must be requested within 60 minutes of purchase. After that window, processing or fulfillment may already have begun and changes are not guaranteed.

    The Story behind Preppi

    Preparedness That Belongs in Your Home

    Preppi began after founders Lauren Tafuri and Ryan Kuhlman experienced an earthquake in Los Angeles and realized how unprepared they — and many of their friends — actually were.

    They set out to rethink the traditional emergency kit, bringing good design to a category usually dominated by utilitarian boxes and military-style gear.

    Today, Preppi creates emergency kits built around the essentials — food, water, first aid, light, shelter, communication, and practical tools — with options for individuals, families, children, pets, vehicles, and more.

    We love that Preppi makes preparedness feel accessible, intentional, and worth keeping close at hand.
