Busted Knees & Pretty Trees Podcast

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.

In this episode of Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, Brad and Travy take their love for the outdoors on two very different adventures. Brad heads deep into the heart of Texas, chasing the calls of rare and beautiful birds across open prairies and quiet wetlands. From early morning songbirds to the dusty trails under a big southern sky, he dives into the rhythms of migration, the beauty of patience, and the joy of spotting life on the wing.

Meanwhile, Travy stays closer to home but no less wild — exploring the rugged hills and creek beds of southern Indiana in search of hidden gems. Rock hounding becomes more than just a hunt for stones; it’s a way of slowing down, of tuning into the subtle details that nature leaves behind for those who look close enough.

Together, their stories capture what Busted Knees and Pretty Trees is all about: the thrill of discovery, the quiet peace of the outdoors, and the shared appreciation for the places that shape us. Whether you’re into birds or rocks — or just love being outside — this episode will take you there.
