food cache
Stored meal supply
A food cache is a hidden store of provisions, typically set aside for later use.
The term applies across contexts: animals cache food for winter survival, hikers stash supplies along trails, and survivalists maintain emergency stores.
Bears often raid food caches at campsites.
The emphasis is on concealment or protection from theft, spoilage, or predators.
