Coghlans folding saw. Best saw for the buck hands down. Better than the silky gomboy and better than the sven for sure. Super light. Less than a pound. https://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-8901-Folding-Saw/dp/B000ECSDHG
Maple's going to take forever to cut through with a pocket saw like that. I can imagine a wide chain makes the problem a lot worse as there's a much larger surface area which will require much more effort compared to a thin saw.
You also need to properly know how to fell a tree. If not, you're going to end up binding your saw and getting it stuck, or worse hurting yourself.
Personally I have https://www.amazon.com/Sven-Saw-15-Folding/dp/B003GLX2PK which has a very capable blade for cutting. I used something similar when I was younger and wasn't allowed to use chainsaws and it worked great. I'm still afraid of chainsaws and other power saws to this day and they are far less tiring to use but require a healthy respect of the dangers.
I actually have a manual chainsaw.

I have a Gerber multi-tool Suspension GE22-41471. I like it but it's pretty heavy for its size and, as others have said, you don't need half the tools in the wilderness.
Go Outdoors have a selection. Might be cheaper on Amazon.
I have a folding saw which is light.
You could try a wire saw. I haven't tried one myself.
I find my folding trowel very useful.
Don't get this trowel - it's flimsy
I also have a bushcraft knife. I'm not sure it's legal to carry around (UK) all the time but I think it's ok if you're using it while camping etc. (better check if you do buy a knife).
I'm assuming that it's a large island with sustainable resources, including fresh water.
I bought this :http://www.amazon.com/Primos-6018-Folding-Saw/dp/B00149W1NA and its not that great. the blade is missaligned so that it doesn't close properly, and the teeth seem to have dulled considerably after only one season. that being said i do like its handy sheath with an extra mini pocket.
the laplander is only a few bucks more on amazon, made in Sweden and Dave canterbury wont shut up about it. I know ill probably be buying one when mine breaks.
I hang them from a gambrel, and then skin and quarter them. You can do that from a tree in the woods. My kit for the woods has a gut knife, field dressing gauntlet gloves, This bone saw https://www.amazon.com/Mossy-Oak-Hunting-Accessories-MO-MS/dp/B0083ZZH0M/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509567478&sr=8-5&keywords=field+dressing+bone+saw. The rest is done in my kitchen. I use a rapala fillet knife, and a chef knife. I wear a cut proof glove on my left hand, since I am right handed. I cut myself badly once, and now feel the cut proof glove is needed. I was taught how to do it in person, but I bought a dvd on how to butcher deer, but I can't find it. Now, I would probably look for a youtube video with good reviews. Good luck.
