Thick & Thin Overlanding, Right?
Let me start by saying “Hi, I’m Austin”, I Co-Founded WolfPac Outdoors with my wife Summer. We are a family of 4 adventurous souls, on a journey to experience the world through vehicular exploration. But before we get started, I want to ask you this, what is overlanding to you?
I think of overlanding like this. A Vehicle. At its most basic level a vehicle could be as simple as our bodies, or as complex as a spaceship. A Mindset. This mindset is continually developing and fluid, it’s not stagnant nor does it cease. It’s a state where, when you’ve reached the top of a mountain, you desire to reach beyond, to experience and learn more. When you see the peak of another mountain in the distance and you can’t resist leaving the comfort of your current situation to experience that journey. While on the journey you soak in your environment, always learning and exploring. This new destination isn’t a stagnant place it’s fluid and will develop into the next adventures and experiences. And Sharing. If it were just myself, well, that would be ok, but here’s a secret of mine… having my wife and kids with me while we complete steps 1 & 2 IS the icing, it brightens my whole world. Sharing our experience with

you, encouraging you to reach for your dreams, and seeing your journey IS the icing. For me overlanding is a way of life, a deeper meaning to existence, and something I passionately enjoy talking about.
