my chain saw Big Grin

leaks chain oil though cant fix it, any tips?

Most likely just worn gaskets or seals. They don't last forever but are cheap to replace.

This is one thing I miss from living in North America: The enthusiasm, the get-up-and-do-it attitude. Sweden is very slow-going socially, the trail-building scene is really small and it takes a long time to find people that really are doers willing to put in the time. On the other hand there is plenty of good terrain and very little difficult liability to deal: Set up a simple agreement with a land-owner and start digging basically.

I have made this but not used it yet ^

I also have a huge trailer for the tractor, a shovel, a big box of screws, a drill/Screwdriver, a jigsaw, chainsaw, handsaw, big metal spike to make a hole for stakes.

i probably have some others and i may get round to posting those later on.
more pics of my homemade tool on my profile.

recently just bought this:
http://www.rescue42.com/mclaski.php

being an avid trail builder i have really enjoyed this 6-tool-in-one item.
its very light too, about 6 pounds, lighter than a normal pick axe.

my overall thought on it: basically a rake that can cut roots, pick out rocks, and pack on dirt(taper style)

the trail builder pack is okay but the chainsaw pocket on the front doesnt keep it that still. if youv not got a blade protector on the teeth rip up your nice new bag. guttttted Facepalm
