For firewood cutting, I'd look at one of the throw away handsaws, I think are called "Sharktooth" saws. Pretty compact, and they have herkin' big teeth! Just before I retired, a lot of the carpenters were buying them to carry in their tool boxes. Not much call for them on jobs any more, but handy sometimes.

I also have a Wyoming saw for cutting bigger stuff, its a little bit heavier but works a lot better. It breaks down so it doesnt take up a lot of space.
