What I Pack for Winter Hunting

You probably wouldn’t guess just by looking at me that I’ve been going into the woods since I was a kid and have actually been hunting before. But that side of my life has been around for a long time. Winter in the Ukrainian woods can get rough - snow, wind, damp cold, long periods of standing still - and without the right prep, even a simple day outside can go bad pretty fast. In this video, I’m showing you how I get ready for a winter hunt: what layers actually matter, why boots can make or break the whole day, what I always want in my backpack, and why I’d never treat a winter forest like a casual walk. Today, we’re just getting ready. Next time... maybe we actually go hunting.
