Many hands make light work, the old saying goes, and that's no less true when it comes to setting up camp. Here, Vollund stands at the center of Elysia and Dairchan's gher-to-be, holding the roof ring aloft while Valerian and some other clannsfolk pitch in. The rafters must be inserted into the roof ring and then anchored on the cable which runs around the top of the gatewall, and then the canvas roof and walls can be hung. A group effort such as this one ensures that setup time is minimal for everyone, and promotes the feeling of unity within the clann - Budnahi!
