Summary

Welcome to Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, the podcast where the trail dust never settles! Hosted by Travy J, Brad, and Paddy – three outdoorsmen with a passion for all things wild – we dive deep into the world of nature, backcountry adventure, and wilderness living.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker, curious birder, backcountry hunter, weekend canoe tripper, or just someone who finds peace under an open sky, this podcast is your campfire conversation. Each season, we talk gear, share stories, swap survival tips, and celebrate the beauty and challenges of spending time in the great outdoors.

We also sit down with fascinating guests from all walks of life – conservationists, wildlife experts, guides, and everyday folks who have chosen to make nature a central part of their lives. Together, we explore how they connect with the wild and what they're doing to protect it for future generations.

If you love the crunch of leaves underfoot, the call of a loon at dawn, or the satisfaction of sore legs after a long day on the trail, then you're in the right place.

Busted Knees and Pretty Trees – where passion for the wild runs deep, and the stories are as real as the wilderness.

    This week on Busted Knees & Pretty Trees, we sit down with Brad and Sarah to unpack their wild trip to Costa Rica — from trekking through Parque Nacional Marino Ballena (yes, the one shaped like a whale’s tail) to hiking deep into Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Hacienda Barú surrounded by sloths, monkeys, and more humidity than you can emotionally prepare for. They also hit the trails in Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal, chasing volcano views, rainforest miles, and that classic “are we sure this is the trail?” feeling. And then… the night hike. Headlamps on. Jungle alive. Frogs everywhere. We talk wildlife encounters, trail conditions, gear wins and fails, and what it’s really like hiking in a rainforest after dark. If you’ve ever dreamed about Costa Rica — or just want to hear about sweaty miles and unforgettable moments — this one’s for you!
