i have a friend who swears by stihl chainsaws, and i have to admit, he may be right about them. i second what others have said just find a carry box for it. just keep things simple and all together.
this is the way.
Some good ideas here. If I used a gas chainsaw, I'll fabricate a nice/safe mod for it somewhere outside. I do carry one but I use the battery-powered Milwaukee chainsaw and carry two huge batteries. I have used it many times now and it is phenomenal for a battery powered saw. I also carry a very large hand saw that folds. I have never had to use the hand saw. If in a group, there will be couple of folks carrying gas saws too....usually inside the vehicle. I'd rather not.

For the trail? Yep, as well as for hunting and camping trips.
Multiple sized Huskies to choose from for a husky guy.
The one for the road carried in either an aforementioned Husqvarna Powerbox
that one came in or a dedicated long plastic tub. I like the latter better
because my saws're well used and get/remain filthy with oil, grease, wood
and dirt. Best to keep it well contained.
But hell, it's old hat for me...
I have to carry one just to get through my property!
:rofl:

Love the SawHaul for Polaris or tractors. No easier way to protect chainsaws. You can spend half a day building your own chainsaw carrier for vehicles or just buy a quality unit and get it delivered asap!

Stihl has nice carry cases. I drain the fuel and run my 029 Super and MS180 dry. I keep them in the basement in cases and they don't smell. You could carry a quart of premix in a well sealed steel/aluminum can and only fill the chain saw up when you need to do cutting.

Son got me this 18v cordless Milwaukee 16" with 12 amp hour battery for stealth use on trees downed in the river blocking my drift boat. It works quite well. I also have an Echo Timber Wolf 20" for Montana home and a Stihl Farm Boss 20" for the Fullerton home.

I'm looking for a bigger electric chainsaw. I brought my older DR battery operated chainsaw for a trail cleanup we did a few months back. It works on small stuff.
We had a guy along with a gas powered Stihl that took care of the big stuff. A wind storm the day before had huge trees blocking the main road where we trail ride.

If you really wanna be different, as a lineman we use the A/C powered Stihl models but you have to have a 20A circuit (thus inverter necessary).
The newer bucket trucks had 15A in the bucket and would constantly trip. My older one had 20A and never did. Not the special plug just initial starting current I suppose.

I just carry a sharp ax. Couple minutes for a good size fir, but never needed to clear a trail.
I bought a Milwaukee 16 inch battery operated chainsaw. This thing kicks ass.
