This week on Busted Knees & Pretty Trees, we're joined by Rebecca "Primetime" Cuff for an inspiring and entertaining conversation about hiking, backpacking, and embracing life's next chapter. We talk about how she went from the corporate world to the trail, what fuels her passion for adventure, and why she believes it's never too late to start chasing big goals.

We also take a deep dive into her backpacking kit, breaking down the gear she carries, the lessons she's learned along the way, and the items she wouldn't hit the trail without. Rebecca shares her experiences as a woman on trail, discusses the unique challenges and rewards that come with it, and offers advice for anyone who might be hesitant to take that first step into the outdoors.

And if you've spent any time on hiking social media, you've probably seen Primetime pop up in your feed. We talk about her rapidly growing online presence and how she's using her platform to inspire and encourage thousands of people to lace up their boots, get outside, and start their own adventure, no matter their age, experience level, or background.

We weren’t able to put out a full episode this week because we’ve got some exciting improvements happening behind the scenes. We know—no episode?! We’re disappointed too.
But don’t worry, the fellowship isn’t going anywhere. We’ll be back next week with more stories, more laughs, and more adventures from the trail.
Keep on sauntering, and we’ll see you next Wednesday!

America's National Parks don't protect themselves—and neither does the idea behind them.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Bill Wade, Executive Director of the Association of National Park Rangers (ANPR), for a candid discussion about conservation, civic engagement, and the importance of standing up for our public lands.

Drawing from decades of experience with the National Park Service, Bill shares incredible stories from his time as a ranger, but this conversation goes far beyond trails, wildlife, and scenic vistas. We dive into the growing need for citizens to become more involved in the future of America's public lands and why simply loving our parks may no longer be enough.

Bill offers a thoughtful and passionate perspective on conservation, public service, and the role everyday Americans can play in shaping the future of the places we cherish most.

Whether you're a hiker, backpacker, conservationist, history buff, or simply someone who believes these places should be protected for future generations, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
