Resurrecting this from the depths...
I enjoy fly tying and always take some materials with me when camping. When we are packing i decide on 3-4 flies that i might want to tie on the upcoming trip (usually just weekends) then pack only the tools and materials to tie those 3-4 flies. I pack everything in a small rubber maid tote and stow it under the bed.
I use a pedestal vise so i can set up anywhere whether it be the dinette table, the picnic table, the tailgate or my lap. If the weather turns crummy or we just have some down time i will bust out the box and whip up a few. I also carry a small lamp that i can use for extra light when tying indoors. One of my favorite things is to tie at the picnic table just before the sun starts to set and there is still enough light to see.
