Trying to envision any scenario where I will need to make boards vs. reclaiming them from already built structures.

The difference is if you are in a bad enough situation to be stuck in a city/town. If you have your shit together a mill is way better than looting

AFAIK it is about money and quality. If you have a tree that you are taking down anyway, and a chainsaw, then you could get wood for the cost of this thing and your time; most likely it wouldn't be the crap they make houses with these days either. IMHO part of prepping is decreasing reliance on modern society.
