Summary

Join us this week for a great conversation with Tara and Nancy, retired Yellowstone National Park law enforcement Rangers and hosts of Crime Off the Grid. They share unforgettable experiences from their careers, from intense encounters involving tasers and unexpected rodeo moves to heartfelt moments helping park visitors in distress. We dive into the realities of being law enforcement in America’s wild places, debunk persistent conspiracy theories, and learn what "WWND—What Would Nancy Do?" really means in high-pressure wilderness scenarios. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or fascinated by true crime in the backcountry, you won't want to miss this episode!
