Busted Knees & Pretty Trees

If your idea of a good day includes a worn-out trail, a quiet campsite, or a paddle cutting through still water, then you've found your podcast! Welcome to Busted Knees & Pretty Trees, a podcast dedicated to the outdoors, conservation, and the adventures that keep us coming back to nature. Join me as I explore hiking, backpacking, kayaking, camping, outdoor gear, conservation issues, public lands, and the wild places that make life better. Some episodes are trail stories and lessons learned from time spent outside. Others dive into gear, outdoor skills, conservation challenges, and the people working to protect the landscapes we love. Along the way, I'll occasionally sit down with guests from across the conservation and outdoor recreation community to bring new perspectives and experiences to the conversation. Whether you're planning your next backpacking trip, researching gear, looking for conservation news, or simply daydreaming about your next adventure, there's something here for you. Available on all major platforms. Subscribe now and join us on the trail.
