Several years ago I started a thread on how to get by without a chain whip. Several other posters added more ideas to that thread.

I prefer a cassette tool over the tools that use a frame for leverage. I filed down two of the flats on it to allow a smaller crescent wrench to fit.
Spare spokes in seatpost held in with a wine cork, I used some electrical tape to make the cork fit tighter after it dried out.
