I keep 2-3 chains for each saw, if I have time I'll touch up in the field, if not, just swap out for a sharp one. Never let them get too bad.
I hand file everything, from the 14" PMN on the 200t to my 20" RM on the 361.
I do use the Stihl file guide, more substantial to hold and I can keep an eye on the angles. Once around the block with the depthgauge tool and its good to go.
