Oh, you explained that slightly better than the author imo. But now the pieces I remember from the article fall into place. We have similar places here in Sweden that are technically owned by the military but they have a schedule when they're in use and on off times can often be used for camping by tourists, or grazing by local farmers. I wouldn't compare anything I've seen in Sweden or Europe to the level of wilderness in DVNP. The most wild thing I've seen here was Samaria gorge on Crete and it was full of tourists, a well defined path and water sources. (I'm from the south of Sweden, I realize the north has a lot of vast wilderness;)
