There seems to be confusion on this issue.

Chainsaws are prohibited in Forest Service and BLM Wilderness.

They ARE NOT BANNED in National Parks.

I think those who advocate that it is impossible for there to be a 
wilderness experience when chainsaws are allowed, need to explain why I 
never hear anyone complain about travelling through wilderness in Yosemite, 
Yellowstone, SEKI, etc?

Seems like....in practice....there is no difference.
