    I have 4 wolf packs so from my perspective in some sense they are the South African version of our action packers ?

    wolf packs would be closer to action packers than they are to pelican
    the pelican are way tougher etc.. but also way more money and weight etc....

    so for me I think I would pick wolf packs over action packers for storage of items that are going inside my rig/trailer

    the wolf packs have great stacking and great use of space
    the lids can be a bit funny to learn to take off since their are 4 latches on them but once learned not to bad

    I think I would pick wolf packs over pelican to save weight and get great stack ability
    if security and super toughness was my concern I would pick pelican(storm) cases

    so if you had a combination of wolf packs and pelicans you could be set in my eyes


    I really wish you could get wolf packs with a hinged lid on one side so the tops would not be loose

    so if I was packing my rig up and I had 3 piles of packing solutions
    action packers - pelican - wolf packs

    I would pack my rig using wolf packs and pelican boxes and not bother with the action packers

    I do have a action packer I throw junk in that is in my trailer so I have used all 3 but at the time nobody was bringing in the wolf packs ?
    also the action packer fits the space just right so it works

    hope that brain dump helps

    Where can I find the inserts? I've seen pictures of them, but what about availability in the States?

    I have a conqueror conquest and have 4 wolf boxes in the slides, two mounted in the rear above the Engel and two stacked in the nose cone.

    I would love to know about:

    1) additional clips
    2) any foam inserts of any type
    3) additional boxes (price) and the Howling Moon Canvas Cover for same! (price)

    Love these boxes. On the four we get in and out of the most, we are putting luggage straps with snap clips. (no clips at all).

    Dendy

    ps: Saw your booth at Expo this past weekend and over heard you speak about the grills, but your booth was so busy, I never got to personally speak with you about the wolf boxes! Great Show ... thanks for being there.

    I'm also interested in their line of covers, to include the utensils, spice rack and cutlery rolls. I can see my easy kitchen setup, with one wolfback for all the rolls. They can all hang off my external roll bar too!

    I think I am flushing the chuckbox idea now. Perfect timing for this product line to show up!

    I also like the size of the wolfboxes. Much easier to load/unload off a roof rack, thank some of the larger sized boxes.

    Hi Overlander,
    Let's fix you up with some. They make a great range of products and we'd love to get you kitted out. Give me a call or drop a line and i'll let you know what we've got. I use 1 box for all my kitchen accessories, and it make live so much easier to just take out all the rolls already loaded with cutlery, spices and condiments.
    Cheers for now,

    Hey Dendy,
    Sorry to have missed you at the show. We were very pleased with the response to Howling Moon, and even more pleased that their reputation for quality preceded us! They really do make the best tents out there. Maybe it's the fact that they've been doing it for 30 years!
    I'd be happy to share info on our gear:
    1) We'll be maintaining a quantity of replacement clips. They're the regular plastic ones, but we're also having a look at them being made in spring steel. They'll last longer, will easily replace the plastic ones, and they'll be better in colder climates.
    2)The inserts we have are high density foam with precision cutouts to accommodate plates, cups, glasses and cutlery. You can stack 2 on top of each other in 1 box, and just remove them as if in a drawer. They'll stop all your stuff from rattling, and also keep them water-and dust-free.
    3)We've currently got the lo-lid boxes priced at $40 each, and the hi-lid at $45. Inserts are $20 a piece. Covers are 465 for the "2-up" and $80 for the "3-up". The covers are made of the same fabric as all the tents we're bringing in; military spec poly-cotton ripstop. UV stabilized, mildew treated and waterproofed.
    We're trying to keep the prices down, but as always is dependent on exchange rates and getting them in a container.

    give me a call if you have any other questions:

    Would you post pics of your personal kitchen setup? I'm curious what rolls and fabric items you stock that are not listed on your website.
