About this listen

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.

Available on all major platforms. Subscribe now and join us on the trail.

    After weeks of early mornings, quiet trails, and plenty of “wait… do you see it?” moments, Brad and Paddy wrap up their years long Birding Challenge.
    We’re talking favorite sightings, unexpected birds, lessons learned, and just how much closer paying attention to nature can bring you to the outdoors. From laugh-out-loud misses to genuinely magical moments, this episode is all about the joy of slowing down and noticing what’s flying around us every day.
    Good stories, good friends, and a deeper appreciation for our feathered neighbors.

    Listen in to find out how many birds we photographed during the challenge — and which of us couldn’t stop clicking the camera!

  • Ep. 67 - Culture Meets Campfire - A Crossover with Justin Neeley

    Ep. 67 - Culture Meets Campfire - A Crossover with Justin Neeley
    Jan 28 2026

    Send us a text

    This week we’ve got a crossover episode with Justin Neeley from the Cultured Dudes, and he’s asking the questions non-outdoors people may be thinking—but never say out loud.

    How do you shit in the woods? What actually keeps you coming back to the trail? Do you ever feel unsafe out there, or is everyone just pretending they don’t?

    Justin brings zero outdoors experience and maximum curiosity, putting backpacking, camping, and trail life under the microscope. We give honest answers, a few laughs, and maybe even justify why we willingly leave comfort behind for dirt, miles, and questionable bathroom situations.

    Whether you love the outdoors or truly don’t get it, this one’s for you.
