Exactly, the problem though is that the setup for a portable bandsaw mill is about a hundred times more expensive than a chainsaw mill. At that point it becomes "will this actually save me any money". The answer is probably not, you would have to mill a lot of wood to make it more cost effective than buying the wood or paying someone to mill your lumber.

Either way, for the casual prepper neither is really worth it. Better to learn the old world style of woodworking, it doesn't require more than simple tools and is more forgiving of lack of experience (something we all have when we start out).

Thats portable? Probably, but again you have to spend the time to learn to do so. That is time you could be learning something more multipurpose.
