It’s very common that trails can be blocked by fallen trees. Mostly in winter falls or with high winds this can often happen. That’s where you need equipment to clear your way and get back on to your adventure.

Normally we carry an axe. But it’s hard to fight with a huge fallen tree just with an axe.

You can carry a chainsaw with you in your jeep. But it’s not practical to carry a chainsaw inside the jeep every time due to space problems.

So you can mount a chainsaw easily on a jeep/truck with using a Polaris Roll Bar Chainsaw Mount, SawHaul Universal Chainsaw Carrier Kit or Long/short scabbard with mounting kit.  Other than these there are few other options I have mentioned below. So read further.

In this guide I try to give better chainsaw mounting solutions for both jeeps and trucks.

This is suitable for jeep owners. But if your truck also has roll bars fitted you can think about using this.
