Because you are in a remote place, and may not have access to a torch or wedler: I offer this thought as a possibility. Now this crude but you will probably have these parts on hand.
Cut a bolt to such a length so that you can insert into the existing hole, into the combustion chamber and then pull it back turning it sideways.
Now you probably have some chain laying around. Get a piece of small chain, say 6 to 10 inches. Make sure the bolt will fit through the end link. This with give you a T bolt with a piece of chain hanging out of the head.
From here you might be able to attach a puller to the chain, if you have one. Or you might be able to wrap it around a pry bar and lever it out. Or you might wrap it around some sort of iron bar and pound wood wedges under each side of the bar until the plug brakes free.
Now I know these are crude suggestions, but it sounds like you need some out the box suggestions to this problem
