I always use a big plastic toolbox to keep my spare chains, mixing oil, files, wedges, swrenches, plugs and other stuff in for cutting firewood. The box I have now cost $10 and it is rainproof. It is real handy having everthing together and organized.

I use a big old ammo can lined with rags. It is a big heavy clunker and I should get a better box. I use those Tide liquid jugs for my bar oil. They have a built in funnel in the neck to fill it and a stubby spout for filling the saw, all built in, nothing to lose.
I tried one for gas and it worked ok but it started getting really hard to unscrew the cap from how dry the gas made it.

I have my spare chain in a can, I keep wedges beside that, and I can usually find my fuel and bar lube jugs somewhere near there too... Files are over here under this pile of rags, and I'm pretty sure that little screwdriver is under the seat of the truck somewhere...
:D Sounds like my tool box...or boxes ::)
I use a big Rubbermaid box for my chaps, gloves, helmets and other PPE. I use a box i made out of 3/4" plywood for the saws, chains and tools. I just toss the jugs of fuel and oil into the bed of the truck. This way the PPE stays dry, and I can haul it into the house at night to keep it warm- I hate putting cold earmuffs on ;D
The wooden box is nice because i can add small boards inside with holes drilled in them to put the wrenches and screwdrivers into so i dont have to dig around in the bottom of the box. I also put several 4" carridge bolts in the lid with small garden hose over the excess with a wingnut and fenderwasher on it to keep the sharp chains out of the bottom of the box and keep them from getting all tangled up.

I use a "Homer" toolbox and keep three different types of sharp chains in diaper wipe boxes, (2) 20" cross cut, (3) 28" cross cut, and (3) 28" rip. Along with two quarts of oil, two backup small wedges, and a box full of spare parts for the Husky (bearings, c-clip, sprocket, grease gun etc.).
I grab it whenever I want to cut something down without grabbing my bucket full of various wedges, gallons of oil, chains, cables, etc.
