Actually, I don't know. But there must be good reasons. Kochanski has the experience I don't have but anyway, I do think it's a nice idea and seems easier to carry than a folding prunning saw or a rather heavy chain saw blade. And when in the cold weather, you want a saw that gets the job done quickly...

It was suggested to use a webbing belt - I just saw one the other day. Purchase the webbing from a climbing store and add Fastec buckles, insert the blade before sealing the end with heat.
.. I watched him a few years ago make a bucksaw out of spruce tree branches but he "cheated" (his words); he used another bucksaw to cut the branches to size. He says it takes too long to do it just using the blade itself, although he used to do it that way.
I am glad to hear that he cheated!
I made a busksaw to his intructions 2 weeks ago but cheated on the slots for the blade using another saw as well since I feared splitting the wood
If you want to see Mors's making a bucksaw and my attempt at one it is here:
