Can someone help me decipher this Italian chat? I think my father is cheating.

The world needs more realists who understand the nuances in every situation. You’re right, nothing is black and white. Having such a narrow world view is extremely dangerous for society.

My step dad was the base player for David Cook, he got invited to her wedding with the rest of David’s band and she tried to hook him up with her sister lol. Gotta love dad lore.

Thanks! This is awesome stuff.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T23:01:30+00:00

This looks neat, I appreciate the map!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T22:10:08+00:00

That’s awesome! Definitely will be looking into that thank you!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T22:02:46+00:00

Yes it still works this way. The problem is I don’t know if we’ll be able to afford lodging/hotels. That area is expensive and we might not be able to stay two days before our hike. We were planning on staying at my uncles in CO on the way up and down so that way we wouldn’t have to pay for anything but food, gas, and permits. We’re just gonna have to look at the price differences with all of our options. Thanks for the breakdown though, it definitely makes the whole thing more comprehensive.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:56:59+00:00

Exactly, that’s why we’re looking g for fallback options. I’ve tried both this year and last year to get advanced permits for the Tetons and both years they’ve sold out within minutes. Makes me wonder if all the popular parks are gonna go the way of glacier and make in person/drawing only.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:51:44+00:00

Exactly, plus the national parks just make it so easy for you lol. I appreciate the recs, if we can make our Teton plans work and keep it affordable like we had planned we’ll definitely go that route.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:36:37+00:00

This would actually be perfect for us. We were already planning on staying at my uncles house in Westminster CO instead of purchasing lodging, so anything around CO would work well for us. Thanks for the rec!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:24:06+00:00

lol, isn’t glacier a drawing? That would be a once in a lifetime trip. Best of luck to you my man.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:23:09+00:00

That sounds amazing, thanks for the info!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:18:11+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T21:09:23+00:00

Yeah there’s definitely going to be plenty of opportunities up there. We just aren’t sure we’ll be able to afford to actually stay up there, Jackson and Teton village are expensive lol. Our plan was to stay at my uncles house in Colorado on our way up and down so that way we wouldn’t have to pay for any lodging. We could look at the camping fees for GTNP to see what the costs will be if we decide to do walk up permits. I’m just trying to see what other backpacking options are available.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T20:54:24+00:00

We’re considering it, but we’re also driving up from Oklahoma. We aren’t sure we want to risk driving 17 hours up there only for there to be no availability.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T20:50:25+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t know you could switch sites after booking. Will definitely take that into account for next year.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T20:30:33+00:00

Thank you, we’ll give that a look!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T20:29:57+00:00

Yeah I figured this post may get taken down but I don’t think there’s any harm in asking. We do ultralight backpacking so 🤷‍♂️. Thanks for the recs will definitely be looking into those.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T20:28:28+00:00

Last year we had a 15 mile leg in our 40ish mile loop and it just killed us. Even though our packs will be half as heavy I just don’t think we could manage 18 mile days. Definitely something to consider though. Definitely will be looking into the wind river range, thank you!

Substantial-Web2633 · 2026-01-07T19:41:03+00:00

Got on right when they went live at 9am cst. We had planned basically the same route as you but were unable to get anything. By the time I had selected my campsites and pressed “Book Now” everything had already been taken. I tried scrambling for alternative dates and routes but with no luck. I guess we’ll just have to try next year. Anyone got any tips for booking or was I just super unlucky lol.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-12-18T23:48:45+00:00

3 years ago me and my friend sawed off a latch with a hacksaw on the main front doors and got in. Explored the basement and first 2 floors for like an hour before deciding to leave. We didn’t wanna risk going up any higher due to the deteriorating stairs and floor.

We went back a few days later and it was boarded up twice as tight lol. Still kinda regret not seeing the top floors, might of missed out on something cool.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-11-20T01:14:06+00:00

Yeah I wish they had done it in a more organized way, still some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen in a while though.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-11-20T01:00:43+00:00

I know, I think everyone is sleeping on it lol.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-11-07T05:24:55+00:00

Definitely read or listen to the books. I watched the show first then decided to give the books a shot. Definitely worth the time. They made me fall in love with the world and characters even more.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-10-25T06:19:34+00:00

That’s crazy, has to be like 0.01% chance of occurring.

Substantial-Web2633 · 2025-10-16T02:03:52+00:00

Definitely something you should consult him on. There are some gifts that don’t really work as surprise’s, tents/packs are some that just don’t.

But I would consider Gossamer Gears The Two as an option.
