Need help with cutting metal pipes

Heres the situation:

I need to cut these two 2' diameter metal (steel i think) pipes. The big problem is that they are out in a field in which i couldn't run an extension cord to. So that rules out any power-tools that require a cord and an outlet. I know i could just use a hand hack saw but i think that it would take forever. Anyone know of any cordless power-tools that might be able to help me?

And if this is even remotely practical, where can i get a cutting torch?

battery powered saws all, or you could use your musckels and hack away at the bitch with the saw

go with a hack saw but do it slowly. i dont mean cut slowly i mean get the pipes slowly. like one night go out and saw one end off then the next night do another one then you just leave them connected just a tiny bit so then the night after you go and you can finish sawing them in a matter of minutes and make off with the rails

SAWZALL. The best tool ever, and it has a cordless option. Perfect, although a wee expensive.

A professional pipe cutter. Can get them for like 5 bucks a the hardware store. Just a thing that attaches to the pipe with a sharp blade. You spin it around the pipe and it cuts.

Pipe cutters work really good, but you need a vice, or another person with you to do it good.

oxy acetalyne would work, ad aso if you have a genorator that would work too... by that mean plg the powertols into it no beting the genorator on the pipe, althouh tht is also an option.
