    if you made the frame slats as long as the blade and spaced the holes using the blade as a guide you could store it sandwiched between the two planks.

    @utuubee
    A bandsaw blade would have some disadvantages. One they are designed to cut in one direction so would only cut on the pull stroke. You would also have to drill holes in it since it wouldn’t have them already. The tooth design on band saw blades is also very different and intended for slow cutting of thin dry wood with steady pressure. I think you would find that the bandsaw blade was very slow at cutting compared to a blade designed for this purpose.

    What do you think about using a band saw blade as a saw, it costs $7 on Amazon and a couple of saw can be made from one piece.
    Also it is flexible so it can be folded in you pack

    I think you need to trim down the tensioning stick, to about 1-2 inches passed the brace stick, in this way you can only cut smaller diameter sticks then if you modified it the way I said.

    Use PVC with end caps on the bottom, securing the blade in a slot in the pvc/endcap using split rings (large so can be used for other things). The center fulcrum can be a hollow aluminum tube one of the ends (top rear perhaps) can be wrapped with fishing line (secured with tape) and is the fishing spool then and when folding down, the 2 handles can be joined with the pvc joiner. Plenty of room for blade, fire steel and baggies of cotton balls + fishing items etc…

    Cheers and great work.
