The point was that these requirements are more onerous than in National Preserves or Wildlife refuge wilderness.  In both areas you are allowed to cut small branches for walking sticks, and roasting a fresh caught grayling over a camp fire.  You are not required to pack our ashes, even "Leave no Trace" does not go to this extent.  Ashes can be spread and buried.  TP is generally suggested to be disposed of in a "cat hole" in these areas.  I spend months every year in Federally Designated Wilderness acting exactly as recommended by these agencies.  Alaska State Parks has gone a step beyond the radical.  And for Giant: Maybe you have never been to the more remote state parks?  There is usually no one else around to "scare off their game".  A couple shots at a Mt.  House package to make sure you are not going to wound an animal is only the right thing to do.
