An uncle Antoni Sykora was an expert on the birds and nature and accompanied young Puchalski in the outdoors.
In 1946, he joined forces with the Łódź educational film company Wytwórnia Filmów Oświatowych w Łodzi and, travelling throughout Poland, took photographs of nature subjects: flocks of migratory birds on the Biebrza and Narew rivers, as well as wisent, elk, wolves, lynx, beavers, deer and smaller animals.

Puchalski was assigned to the third polar expedition headed by Stanislaw Rakusa-Suszczewski and arrived at the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station in 1978.
