Parallelograms of front and rear derailleurs are wonderful receptacles for just the right sized stick or pebble to hold a single chainring or cog for the ride out.
No need to go hunting for sticks or pebbles to hold the rear derailleur onto an appropriate single sprocket if the cable breaks. We're seeing a lot of broken right hand shift cables these days: there's some sort of fatigue point inside many Shimano STI units. But when the cable breaks, it's always at the shifter. That leaves lots of perfectly good cable attached to the rear derailleur.
So unscrew the bolts on a water bottle cage. With your thumb push the rear derailleur in so that the chain lines up with a sprocket that will give you a couple of usable gears on your two chain rings, and put tension on the derailleur cable to hold it in place. Catch the cable under the water bottle cage and screw the bolts back down to hold the tension.
