You do not need a chain whip. A few years ago I wrote up a short piece on how I use some cord tied to a short piece of chain to substitute for a chain whip when traveling.

The thread above also lists other options that others use.

The key is making sure you do not thread the fitting that keeps your cassette on too tight, then you might actually need a real chain whip.
