You need it. I remember when I was working at a mine near Revelstoke BC. The kitchen and food storage was supposedly Grizzly proof. The side of the trailer was torn apart and all the food was scattered or eaten. the problem is that grizzlies generally still consider people as legit prey. They run faster than people and are much stronger. There's a reason why the doors to cabins are very thick and spiked. As for the bear spray, I wouldn't bet my life on it working.
