    Hey guys,
    Here in New England (Vermont) one of the things that I run into a lot on the trails is downed trees and/or branches.
    A bow saw is super handy, but I've taken to carrying a small 16" chainsaw with me to make the work a bunch faster.
    Wondering if anyone has any creative chainsaw carrying solutions.

    I have plenty of room on the roof rack, an SOS Off-Road Concepts rear bumper with tire swing, and no tool box in the bed (takes up too much space for my needs).

    I have been eyeing some of the UTV chainsaw scabbards.

    I really like the DeWalt chainsaws. The 60v FlexVolt chainsaw is pretty nice and the battery works with other tools.

    It's an old nickname from bike racing and winning the King of the Mountains jersey in a stage race here in Vermont. @ramonortiz55
    The jersey was white with red apples, so we always called it the king of the apples jersey. I won it two years in a row and that was that.

    That's cute, not many would admit to borrowing their wife's chainsaw.

    Yup. It's got more than enough balls to cut up some pretty big trees. And you don't have to worry about carrying 2-stroke oil.

    Whenever I am in the big tree forests.

    I carry a Stihl MS 362C with a 18inch bar. I have a 25inch bar in a drawer. 3 Pro chains for each bar. A gallon of premixed and half gallon of bar oil. Tools, sharpener, fuel filter, spark plug, air filter. Eye, ear and hand protection. Wedges that I learned how to not use that much anymore. Hatchet and small sledge-sledgehamma.

    oh yeah and assless chaps.


    whos yo daddy?

    A few.
    The 200 is preferred for climbing I'll agree, but some times the 361 in necessary.
