Got caught in the rain with a seized seatpost in Portland

I was on a group ride last month near Forest Park when my friend's seatpost completely seized up. We tried everything from penetrating oil to a pipe wrench but nothing budged. Ended up having to cut the post out with a hacksaw right there on the trail. Has anyone else had luck with those cold spray tricks for aluminum stuck in steel frames?

Hacksaw on a trail sounds about right for my skill level honestly.

My buddy had the exact same problem and we ended up just drilling it out piece by piece.
