I'm in a similar situation with no "bench" readily available so I made a portable one that folds up out of 19 and 22 mm ply.

Would be keen to se some pictures of your portable bench, I've often thought of making one but always end up deciding it wasn't worth the effort.
Biggest problem I always foresaw was legs that worked well on both uneven and soft ground.
