Hang it, away from your camp, and do not do it like Tourist in NSN first picture, the most geriatric black bear in the world would have no problems climbing that tree. Chances are if you get an indestructible canister (questionable) the bear could just take it. They have been seen stealing entire golf bags.
By far the biggest problem is not them stealing your food but pretty much destroying your camp while looking, and destroying it they would do while posing little danger to you. If they smell it, they'll come looking, and if they are dumpster bears they specifically will try to scare you away. And they are smart; a while back I have t stop my car for a bear in the middle of the road. He just started walking around the car and next thing I know the mother ****er was trying to open my back doors, he knew how the handle operated...
So hang it and that means hanging away from the trunk, away from your camp, and do not eat at your camp.
