Nice work, Mike. Not a bad idea right now for training hikes. How well does that saw carry in a backpack?

Surprisingly well! The biggest hassle is having to take off the pack and open the pack an pull it out and then reversing the process. I also put it in a plastic trash compactor bag due to the chain bar oil and keeping that off the pack. It would be nice to have it in some sling that could be easily whipped off your back and into use. I have a plastic chain/bar scabbard thing for it too.

Carrying around a chainsaw in an easy access sling on the trail might get you a considerable amount of side-eye and a very wide berth when passing people....

That's tempting, but consider the noise, the exhaust fumes, having to carry more fuel...oh, wait, Mike's chainsaw is electric. More convenient for the user, but smaller intimidation factor.
Anyway, on topic, I've had the folding saw shown below for ages. It's not great, I'd get something better if I used it often.
