Looking for ideas: how to carry a chainsaw on your back?

Hi mate you can buy a proper bag from STIHL mate to put it in mate thanks Jon

Yes, but the handles are only 8 inches long: not long enough to wear as a backpack.

Hi there . You could try foresty supplies in usa . They have stuff for smoke jumpers ( forest fire staff ) they have special kit to carry chainsaws into . Jobs . Or try google search for forest fire fighting eqp . Happy searching

It's a great concept - as working in woods it is such a pain walking with a chainsaw crutches or not. I used to walk with a saw cradling it so the weight was better distributed. But then you always had to go back for all your other bits and pieces.

 

 

 

It makes total sense to be able to carry all your gear on your back if you have a long walk to the job.

 

You make have put a spark there for someone to develop a new idea if there is nothing out there already.

 

 

Good to see that you are not letting your disabilities hold you back from getting stuck in

That looks pretty good, a link to a supplier or the manufacturer would be useful.

I've just found it: Evoc Trail Builder 30 L

 

Here's a better link: TRAIL BUILDER - Backpacks, Bags - EVOC - PROTECTIVE SPORTS PACKS

 

The downside of the Evoc rucksack, in comparison to the Dakine one, is that it doesn't have the two large side pouches for fuel and oil. It also doesn't have the wonderful promotional video!

Cheers CCharlie, nice looking pack, must check out the Dakine although I bought a Dakine 'snowboard/ski' camera backpack and wasn't all that impressed. No comparison with backpacks from the hiking/climbing manufacturers like Berghaus, Karrimor, Gregory etc.
