Ep. 145 Hunting, History, and Hits: Inside Sweden’s Wild Outdoors and Country Music Scene with Robin Winther

The Silvercore Podcast with Travis Bader

I just got back from an unforgettable adventure through Finland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of incredible. This journey started as an invite to hunt in Sweden but quickly turned into something much bigger.

In this episode, I sit down with Robin Winther, one of Sweden’s hottest up-and-coming country music stars, who also happens to be a passionate hunter and outdoorsman. Robin shares what it’s like to hunt in Sweden, from the traditions of driven hunts to the incredible teamwork that makes it all happen. We even get into some of the differences between hunting cultures in Sweden and Canada—and trust me, there are some big ones.

But this episode isn’t just about hunting. Robin opens up about his music career, how he found himself in Nashville, and what it means to stay true to your craft in a world of constant comparison. We talk about how connections, both in the field and in life, make all the difference.

If you’re into hunting, music, or just hearing a great story, this episode has it all. Sit back and enjoy the ride as we dive into a world of wild adventures, deep traditions, and unexpected friendships. You won’t want to miss this one
