We have always managed to find something to prop the bike on; fallen tree, concrete bollard, couple of big stones, etc. I also carry some thin dyneema rope that has a breaking strain of erm, lots. I figure that worst case I can hoist one end of the bike off the ground. You can also put the bike on the sidestand and use a stick to prop the bike up or even lash it against a tree.
Most important thing is to have a good think before you start.
Am I in the most suitable place to do this or should I trundle the bike a few hundred yards under that tree for instance ?
Also, spread a rag out to put your bits on so they don't get covered in crap. I have an old tea-towel in my tool roll that does the trick
