If you don't carry chainsaw fuel how are you going to start the fire?

Always have diesel, but I find one of these works well ...

The proper way....kindling and match, or if you must, newspaper

Picked up MS180 $349......on sale at the moment a very good price I reckon and I couldn't resist. Only $50 more than the 170, bigger motor and 16" bar.

The mower place is offering a free upgrade to the ms 180 when you purchase a 170 at the moment and that is on top of the $299 promo price for the 170. that is bloody cheap.

Kobalt 80 V/45 cm incl battery and charger is now $179.20 at Masters, not restocking. Got the last one at the Canberra Airport store.

The Victa uses the same batteries as the Kobalt, and it seems Bunnings are clearing out all their 80v Victa stuff, recently saw the chainsaw skins at $149 with chargers at $49 and batteries at $149 at Bayswater here in Vic. Might be a better option than the Kobalt for you if you can track a skin down.

Bunnings at Mt Gravatt (Brisbane) has the Victa 80v skins for $99. I picked one up today. Just need to modify of the rails that the battery slides in on and it will take my 3 Kobalt 80v batteries. Can't wait to test it out on the weekend, it should come in handy for the stealth cuts. Time will tell if my Stihl 021 will be benched but I hope not.
