I'm using a chain saw more now. I got four or five chains, some dull, and

we're going to go up and cut some wood, and I think if I can figger out the
angles, a pocket hand file would be infinitely easier to use in the field.

Any pointers, tips, or easy to follow sites?

What about a battery Dremel type sharpener?

I'm looking for quick and easy and portable.

Just divide a right angle into 3 to get you a decent 30 degree visual
and buy a box of files sized for the chain you use.

You will appreciate a few minutes to rest and allow the saw to cool
before topping off the fuel and bar oil while you file.

The best tip is to look at a chain that is fresh from the box and
replicate what you see.

Keep the damn thing out of the dirt it's not a skinny rototiller!
