it seems that you have a very romantic, unrealistic point of view.

Whatever a "medical translator" might mean...
Regarding the "macho version", the rangers in national parks in Croatia are not allowed to carry any firearms,
not even a puny pistol. If they find some visitors doing something strictly forbidden in a NP (like making a fire),
they can only kindly warn them to stop doing it (e.g., extinguish the fire). If they refuse, the ranger can only
call the police - with his cellphone, IF he has a signal amidst the mountain... If not, then forget about it. If it
does work, then more often than not the police just don't bother to climb the Velebit mountain from their cosy
station somewhere deep down on the coast...
Of course I asked about the bears and having no firearms... Well, the answer was clear: if you happen to surprise
a bear (and yourself!) at close range, and IF the bear decides to attack you (instead of retreating), you'll have no
time to pull a pistol from the holster and cock it... So, no use for that as well.

But life is not made only of extreme situations: a bear could be not at close range but in an almost-close range, and you could have enough time (if you don't sleep) to extract your gun...
P.S. Or more easily the bear could attack your mate, and with a gun you could save his/her life...
