I get it, you are a wilderness advocate. As an American that lives, and recreates, in and around several wilderness areas, I see an elitist attitude displayed.
Only one of us wants to restrict others access.
One man's elitist is another man's visionary... thank God for "elitist's" like John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt.
In 100 years there will likely be no wilderness left on the planet so we may as well put roads into every nook and cranny so everyone with an atv can access it, because that's worked out so well in Montana.
It may come as a surprise, but nature has a value that is independent of our needs and desires, even our existence.
It's genuinely hard to fathom someone arguing against wilderness on a backpack hunting forum...
