In this episode of Trail to Tide, I talk about winter outdoor activity, cold-weather travel, and why preparedness matters everywhere—from snowy mountain roads to unexpected cold snaps closer to home. I share a personal experience from Idaho that reshaped how I think about winter readiness, especially when it comes to being on the road.

This episode blends storytelling with practical winter safety insights, covering mindset, vehicle preparedness, and the small decisions that help get us home safely.

Fishing is more than a skill, more than a hobby. It's a pathway to confidence, connection and stewardship. In this episode of Trail to Tide, we wrap up the 3-part mini-series featuring some of the incredible women who work with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. I'm joined in this episode by Pam Corwin, Jasmine Witt and Sage Mcgill, for a lively roundtable conversation about saltwater outreach, angler engagement and teaching the next generation to fish. From veteran and women's fishing clinics to youth education and ethical angling, this episode highlights the people and programs working to make fishing welcoming, accessible and meaningful for everyone.

In part two of a special three-part Trail to Tide series spotlighting the women of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, I sit down with Kelly Lambert of the SCDNR Manatee Program. Kelly shares what it's like working on the front lines of manatee research and conservation in South Carolina, where sightings are increasing and public awareness is more importnat than ever. From tracking movements and responding to reports, to educating the general public about we all can do to keep manatees safe, this episode highlights the science, stewardship and passion behind protecting these gentle giants.

Thank you for listening!
