He is correct.
No personal belongings can be left for over 48 hours.( I believe is the time limit)
This also includes a small salt block as I had a very long conversation 4 miles in a wilderness with a forest service officer.
They're are aTON of hunters breaking the law/rule on this.

Looks like you can’t camp in there for more than 48 hours then.

His wording was you can camp and do whatever you want, bur once you leave the wilderness all your belongings that you brought in with you have to also leave the wilderness within 48 hours.  This was 5 years ago though, so something could have changed

I also guess I should have said personal belongings can't be left unattended for over 48 hours.

After I had that conversation and went home I was able to find the legal wording, or maybe I read it on the board at the trailhead.  I just spent a few minutes googling but turned up nothing. But I lack the effort to continue as I don't really care, just posting up a personal experience. No fines or tickets happened to me, just a simple conversation.
Things could be different now or that guy could have been being a jerk. Doesn't matter to me either way.

Yeah, it was something I had no idea about and didn't even think was an issue.

dang it timberstalker, I caved and kept looking.
This is the wording the forest service guy must have been referring to when he had his little chat with me. 

"Caching or storing equipment, personal property, or supplies is prohibited (36 CFR 261.57(f)). Caching is defined to mean leaving equipment unattended for more than 48 hours."

I guess salt blocks and trail cameras are considered "caching" when dealing with the wilderness and forest service law folks.

See the 8th bullet

So, only hunters will go where you hang a camera. I bet it was some offload bicyclist, eating a granola bar having a carrot or two for lunch.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I’d argue the intent of that “caching” CFR you mention, @92xj
I’d say that is for people leaving camps and supplies in a wilderness.

Regardless, it’s not specific so I may lose that’s argument.

Solid information. Thanks for sharing.
