What's with all those ducks on all those Jeeps? Maybe you have been "ducked" yourself, or perhaps you have a knack for "ducking" other #Jeep drivers? Either way, you have experienced the phenomenon known as #DuckDuckJeep, a global movement that emerged from a single, random act of kindness.
Join us as we sit down for a virtual interview with Allison Parliament, the founder of Duck Duck Jeep. Allison shares how a traumatic experience and an inexpensive rubber duck led to the formation of what is now an international off-roading community. Members of Duck Duck Jeep "come as they are" to enjoy the great outdoors and meet new people to share in the remarkable, mundane, and bittersweet moments of human existence.

I'm new in the JEEP community and a few weeks ago went to Costco when I got back to my truck I saw this little rubber duck on the door handle, I google the act as soon I got in the car and made my day a whole lot better, now this little duckling seats on the dashboard...

When I gave out my first duck the lady was so happy she was happy dancing in the parking lot
Much like Harley Owners Group, leg trouble forced me to sell my Bike, and got Rubicon Gladiator to still be able to get off into the Woods, & now am a Proud Ducker !
we live in london, ontario and we were at lowes today and my wife was so excited when we got ducked..its the 3rd time now..its a great random act of kindness that really makes your day

Last night I got to be someone's first duck, I was at Walmart and snuck up on their jeep. Once I got close I realized they didn't have any ducks so I was their first. I got back to my jeep and pulled up to the loading curb and watched as his wife came out and they saw the duck... They both jumped up and down. Great feeling and a great way to say welcome to the family

I just bought my 1st Wrangler. 2018 Sahara JL. I actually learned how to drive on a 1948 Willy's Jeep at 8 yrs old on my Daddy's friend's farm. Born and raised about 30 miles west of Baton Rouge.
I remember hearing about jeep ducking long before Covid, I think it goes back to the 80’s-90’ 🤷🏻♂️

I was "ducked" (2004 Wrangler Rubicon) for the first time a couple of days ago at a trailhead near Lake Tahoe. I was confused until I googled "jeep duck". Now I know. My little white duck now sits on the dash.

I didn't know this story and first tried to ask chat gpt what the significance of ducks was in the offroading community. My answer was "Rubber ducks are often used in offroad communities as a fun way to gauge water depth when crossing streams or other bodies of water. Offroaders may attach rubber ducks to their vehicles' antennas or roll cages and watch them float in the water to determine if it's safe to cross. It's a lighthearted tradition that adds a bit of whimsy to offroading adventures while also serving a practical purpose."
Found my first duck on the fender of my wrangler this morning and now just learning about Duck, Duck Jeep. Very cool!

Hello, Milly here!! So today I was grocery shopping at Aldis, (Laporte Indiana) for my mother and I saw this 2 cool yellow Jeeps. So I told the couple they have a pretty Jeep. They were so happy and we conversated for little. Then I started loading the groceries and when the couple were about to leave, the lady gifted me a cool rubber duckie. My first one handed to me specifically. Once in a Walmart ( Michigan City IN) parking someone put one on my drivers handle. So I looked around in fear thinking they had put some type of drugs🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ so I put it somewhere else and left in a hurry thinking someone was going to follow me home. All of this because I didn't know about the trend. It even had a little label with a Facebook link. Sorry It was difficult times 2020 and I don't trust anyone in parking lots. I'm glad today I google it to find its meaning. That lady made me happy today. 🙏 So ducked back to otherJeeps there with pictures and took my first duck on the 1st day of October 2022 home with me.😍
R.I.P Allison. You certainly created a massive loving movement❤

I was sitting in my Jeep and somebody ran over to me and complimentary on The work that i've done on my jeep and he gave me another duck And the beautiful part about this duck.It matched the color of my jeep Moments like that in life Put a big smile on your face now I'm going to buy some ducks to make others smile

The only thing that would suck is someone puts a duck on a persons Jeep, afterwards an idiot comes by and steals said duck. The owner later on comes out and doesnt realize he had a duck on his Jeep.
Heyyyyy I was ducked as soon as I pulled off from the dealership in my new Jeep. Put the biggest smile on my face. Thanks you Mother Duck we appreciate you🙏
I love the story, the idea, and the positive intention behind ducking. The city I'm in has tons of Jeep owners from every race and background and when I bring the trend here it will become very popular!!

I was sad to give away my cool Mohawk duck but I wanted to because I hadn't gotten ducked yet. So I was kinda disappointed that I felt left out and I didn't want anyone else to feel left out. Lol. I got my jeep last year for my birthday (my bday is July 4th so i got it a few months prior) so I got a box of ducks too.

I got it because I want to go mudding and escape society on the weekends, I was unaware of the ducks and hand waves. I just bought it because I want to go mudding and into the woods of florida lmao.

I've been with my husband for 2 years and when he met he had a old school Wrangler. It's just mainly been our summer/beach vehicle. Last year we stayed at a B&B and the owners had a Jeep. When we left there was a duck on the Jeep. He ask a Co worker who owns a jeep about it and she explained it. But that was our only lonely duck. This weekend we were at the Myrtle Beach jeep jam. When I went down to get something out of the jeep..there was a duck. I was like a little kid. The next day..more ducks. I was hoping for at least a dozen. I ended up with double that. We just signed up for another jeep event. I'm waiting on my ducks and I'm ordering more ducks. So I thank this woman for something so simple but so wonderful.
I enjoy driving my 2021 Willy's jeep gladiator that I ordered from the factory. I've got a bunch of ducks on my refrigerator that was put on my gladiator.

I remember when jeeps were for the cool rugged types, then they turned into 4 wheel drive mini vans for soccer moms.
Duck around and find out !! LOL
Don't let anyone make you feel bad about being you, you are obviously a lot better person then they were!People are idiots that just believe what they are told. Regardless of the situation any man that puts his hands on a woman deserves to have a man put their hands on him! My sister is from Louisville KY. I just recently got a jeep again after years. My sister let my 4yr old nephew find a duck at a store and he walked up and gave it to me and hugged me. I wouldn't trade it FOR THE WORLD! He even inspired me to name my jeep. It was a red duck with like a dragon tail. So just like a jeep I figure the duck runs a little warm but likes to play in the water. So.......The Fireduck!

I recently got a 2019 Rubicon. My GF owns a 2018 Sport S and had all the ducks. I always thought it was cool. I bought her 3 different bags of ducks so she could duck people back. Theu was a mix of ducks. But my favorite ducks are the tiny ones. So 1 of those bags i got us was tiny ducks. When i got my jeep. She ducked me lol. And gave me a bag of dicks to carry in my jeep. My first stranger duck i got was a regular duck. The second was a white and black spotted duck. I have since ducked 3 jeeps. Actually kinda fun.

someone ducked my highlander today. I thought it was only for jeeps so, I am confused by that.
I read on reddit where someone said they got ducked in 2007, waaaay before this woman says she "began" this movement. The same reddit post says she is sending cease and desist through her lawyers so that people cannot open their own rubber duck selling sites. Would love to hear her response to these accusations.......Allison?

I feel like gay stuff like this is what gives jeep owners that cringe look. It’s sad stuff like this catches on. Most of these people who do stuff like this are the ones driving around in stock ass jeeps that only got one because they wanted to be part of a group. They didn’t get it because they like the off road capability they just wanted to be in a group and feel special that now people wave at you.
