the back of the car up, and start it. Put it in gear and while the wheels

some friction going. Let the hubs heat up for 10-15 minutes this way...

Well, we saw something like that in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and we
know the possible outcome of putting a car on jackstands, and running
it. I wouldn't advise it but I'll put it in my bag-o-tricks. I've
been stuck without my entire shop available, and this is a good one
to know.
Next question: where do you get the necessary brake parts if you're
far enough out in the boonies to have to do this?
