That wolf tooth tool looks pretty slick, but i'm not sure i'd ever carry one on a tour. When in a pinch, I've had good luck putting an allen wrench in the derailleur mounting bolt (still attached to hanger) and using that as a way to pry the hanger back into shape. You can usually get it good enough. Certainly good enough for friction shifting. How good this works does depend on how deep the tooling is on your derailleur mounting bolt.
