Also called a bear bag. A sack, usually made from nylon, containing food and hung from a rope over a high tree branch to keep the food from being eaten by a bear overnight while on a backpacking trip. The job of hanging the food is often done badly, especially when hikers are tired, giving bears plenty of chances to get good at taking them down.
After 15 miles on the trail, Dave was too tired to hang the food right and turned our meals for the next three days into a bear piñata.
