The trip is being documented across the brands Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, with 360-degree video filmed at each location to provide those following the journey with an immersive experience.
The locations for the basis for video episodes being uploaded to YouTube throughout August and September, where the two presenters participate in local activities and meet people making use of Duck Tape in extraordinary ways.
The first episode was filmed in Mt. Banker, Washington, featuring snowboarders who use Duck Tape while competing, and includes a 360-degree video of one of the winter sports enthusiasts taking on the resorts Banked Slalom run.
Consumers can also get involved in the campaign using a hashtag on social media, which enters them into a draw to win $5,000 worth of prizes from the company.
