Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that you are going hiking in some very popular, highly trafficked spots in Jasper. Your risk of getting attacked and possibly eaten by a bear is low. I wouldn’t compare your situation to the people backcountry camping and got attacked. It would be a waste of energy to carry that thing and you’ll get tired of it. The tip is only 8” too. The tang will probably keep it from skewering a bear much deeper than that. The bear would have to be really skinny for that to damage anything.
