That would generally give you more time to be ready ...

True. But speaking from my extensive armchair expertise, I think one thing lacking in bear attacks is time to be ready. I have read where people have had a handgun, but were mailed or killed because the firearm was stowed away in a backpack nothing easy reach. Where legal, a holster on a belt sounds the best place.

I think in a camp on the belt is also a good place.

With all of this, I imagine the probability is very low of an attack. But that is small comfort of teeth are in you, or claws ripping.

See that makes no sense to me, if you have a loaded handgun for protection then it needs to be holstered, putting it in a bag or something like that, even a pocket would be just plain crazy.
If you can't carry it on your belt then take a long gun even if it is more a pain in the rear if carrying a pistol isn't legal in the area your in.
Then again there's, plenty of concealed carry bags and clothing that you could use too if a holster wasn't an option.
