Sharpening chainsaw on site

[toxicity2182]

Ok so after 10 years in the game I'll admit my sharpening skills without a vice are still sub standard, particularly with a smaller saw. Does anyone know of any handy solutions for having some sort of bracket mounted to a truck that a vice could be slid onto to or attached to? I have a ford ranger. Thanks

Saw this over on arborsite. Simple solution, seems to be attached with ratchet straps so wouldn't need to permanently modify the tailgate.

sit on your backside and sharpen it. Its the only way I sharpen, even when a vice is an option

I've got one of these https://www.stanleytools.co.uk/product/159659 , not substantial enough for the big saws but good enough for the little uns.

Sit on the plastic cover behind the chainbrake lean over the guidebar and sharpen away
