In a wagon or camper trailer. Have used cardboard boxes with a corner wall cut, big plakky boxes etc.

Last time the saw tilted on a long drive and bar oil leaked out.

Upcoming trip to the outback I wanted something better. Keep things upright but all round compressible cos space will be at a premium.

Got a locally made quality bag of heavy canvas: click

Looks good.

Have used a number of his products on the last two trips and they've performed well.

No financial or other interest.

How about one of those plastic carry cases that you can buy with the saws nowadays? Wouldn't damage the saw if there were some weight on top of it.

No matter what I store Chainsaws in/on they seem to want to dump their B&C oil load. I just don't know why they don't have a manual tap on them that can completely seal off the oil reservoir. Anyway I guess dumping their oil inside a canvas bag is better than inside a car. My saws have dumped a fair bit of oil inside my van over the years. When this happens I empty the cargo bay, throw in a bucket of sawdust and wait for half an hour and sweep it out. Then I park the van facing uphill and hose the remaining fine dust out onto the lawn.

Maybe an old towel in with the bag would soak up any large oil dumps?

I'm often driving bush tracks & other off-road areas, I have found it necessary to carry my saw as I've been caught out when I didn't have it.
Not much room on the back of the work vechile so made a couple of brackets to mount the saw on.
It has a cable/padlock attached for security but have never had any problem in this regard.
Because the CS is old & doesn't owe me anything I just leave it there all the time now, it picks up a lot of dust (gravel roads) but that comes off when the ute gets a pressure clean.
Though I reckon when I get the new 395XP it'll stay home in the garage!!

I also carry the alaskan mill there as well, (now I just need to find room for the ladder guide)

Only took this pic a couple of days ago when checking out blackberry I've been working on.
Cheers.

Empty oil tank before travelling???

Yeah, could be the trick but I do bush tracks and the saw needs to be loaded to clear the fallen. Hate to be held up more than is necessary.

Thanks Bob. I'll lower my expectations.

And Klaus's gear, if you explore his website, is first class for all sorts of bush gear.
