• 043: When the Wind Roars: The Deadliest Hurricanes in History

  They begin as whispers over tropical seas — small spirals of wind that, given heat and time, grow into monsters. In this episode, we track the world’s deadliest hurricanes: the storms that reshaped coastlines, changed nations, and tested what it means to survive.From the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 to the Bhola Cyclone of 1970, from Katrina’s drowned city to the unthinkable fury of Typhoon Haiyan, we uncover the science, the destruction, and the human spirit behind nature’s most powerful force.Along the way, you’ll learn how hurricanes form, what makes them intensify, and why a warming ocean could make the next one even worse. These are the stories of water and wind — and the people who faced them head-on.Because when the wind roars… the world listens.Instagram @strapyerbootsWebsite strapyerboots.comContact [email protected]

• 041: Walter Bonatti: Alone on the Edge

  At just 24 years old, Walter Bonatti was left stranded at 8,100 metres on K2 — a single night of survival that would become one of the greatest controversies in mountaineering history. Frozen, oxygen-starved, and betrayed by his own team, Bonatti endured the unendurable. But that was only the beginning of a career defined by integrity and impossible courage.In this episode of Strap Yer Boots, we journey through the life of the man they called “the conscience of alpinism.” From his bold first ascent of the Dru’s southwest pillar to his solo winter climb of the Matterhorn, Bonatti redefined what it meant to climb with purity and purpose.We’ll explore the triumphs, the isolation, and the lifelong scars left by K2 — not just physical, but moral. Through it all, Bonatti refused to compromise his principles, insisting that how you reach a summit matters more than reaching it at all.This is the story of a climber who walked away from fame to protect something greater — his truth.Instagram @strapyerbootsWebsite strapyerboots.comContact [email protected]
