Overland Expo PNW 2026

The Pacific Northwest—the PNW. The corner of the USA made up of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon features some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. Attending Overland Expo PNW was an experience that surpassed all expectations for the Carbon crew.

The Deschutes County Expo Center is a perfect venue for the Expo, with plenty of open space because, well, that's what overlanding is all about! Handy facilities, vendors offering everything from great BBQ food to full camper setups, and even some tough, Aussie-designed winches and recovery gear (wink wink). A fairly strong breeze put every peg and weight to the test as the ez-ups were buffeted most of the weekend, but the crowds still turned up in great numbers.

As the first venture for Carbon Offroad into the PNW expo circuit, it certainly proved to be a place and event that we will definitely be returning to. The PNW people are as passionate about their off-roading and overlanding as we are—they are our kind of people. Sharing the excitement we have for our products is always a great way to spend a few days, and we were stoked to have the chance to say g'day to so many attendees. The reaction to a small company from Australia starting to make waves in the USA was very encouraging, and we can't wait to see more people outfitting their rigs with Carbon Offroad products that we are proud to stand behind.

No strangers to large expos (yes, we do have them in Australia too!), the setup of vendors and attendees being able to camp on-site was a real change, however. The chance to hang out and just share time with people camped on-site was a real privilege, and we are looking forward to enjoying those growing friendships over time.
