Default Splice together 2 x 4's for storage shed?

They make a finger jointing buit that inmitates the pattern you see on
door trim/jambs. I'd probably opt for mending plates and/or screws.You
could use one peice as an overlapping piece for the joint and use
screws to join.

I am building an 8'x10' storage shed from mostly scrap materials for $$ reasons.
I need to construct side walls 7' high using 2'x4's that are 3'- 4' in length.
Is it safe? If so, how should I do it? Mending plates, kerf cuts?
