Goodness.  I just use a bow saw and an ax.  No need for a maul, because I
only burn small wood for camping.  If nearby and in a developed campground,
I just take some from my home heating supply.  After all, I'm not trying to
heat all the outdoors, just have a small campfire for atmosphere, and to
make coals for cooking a steak or baking something in the dutch oven.
Doesn't take a lot of wood.

Haven't tried one of the hefty battery operated saws.  Given the rate of
battery usage for other heavy duty tools like lawn mowers, I wouldn't want
to cut my home heating wood with one, but if I only used wood for a
fireplace occasionally for atmosphere, i might get one.
