All the time we are still bringing other dogs off the line to place on the lead lines. Once we get all the dogs off their chains and onto the sled lines, we have to untie the chains from the trees and place them all in a canvas bag so that we can carry them with us to our next campsite.

These chains have to be put up and taken down when we get to camp each day. The dogs are always chained to these when they aren't in front of a sled. But, once we have the dogs in place on the team leads, we have to rush and get the chains down and packed so that we can go. Otherwise the dogs are gonna go crazy and kill each other or pull a sled apart.
