Decided to build my own from Aluminum pieces I had lying around the shop. Still have to 3d print a tip holder and end cap for the main tube.

Just don't snag it on a bush ; that would be an ironic demise!
Yeah, I am going to use handles to attach it to the cross rail so it can be removed if necessary. I am also going to center it on the door and so it doesn't interfere with the front door and put it on the right hand side so the ground side of the saw is facing the elements.
 
Very manly! When the zombie apocalypse hits I'm going to be right behind you!
There's only one problem , and it relates to electrons!

However, one could argue at least with solar you can still power your saw. And I collect Stihl saws. So I am not limited in choices.
 
Yeah, the last place I would (never) think to carry my saw 🤷‍♂️
To each their own. I am far more likely to encounter a downed tree on a fire access trail than narrow bush. Washouts are common but rarely narrow to that extent. And if so the mount goes in the rear.

For lighter duties I use an electric chainsaw quite a bit. It would work better in conifer forest situations (such as commonly found in the N hemisphere) but in eucalyptus and acacia and similar hardwood situations found locally the batteries (mine has dual batteries) do not last that long. You'd be sitting around waiting for a recharge. Unless you carry extra batteries. Which is always a good idea!
And another thing , the battery saws are useless against dropbears.

I am not familiar with your wood types but I know the electric saw is kind of useless on elm or oak. Ironwood is ever worse. But I have an 036 and 025 that I am going to drill holes for also. Haven't found anything yet the 036 won't chew through and if it gets greasy I have a 441 Magnum.
