For the last three years, Chris LaPointe has waged war against an enemy that he believes threatens much of the Pacific Northwest, and he has recruited an army to join his side. He needs all the help he can get. The enemy is almost supernaturally hardy: It resists poisons, can withstand extreme temperatures and can survive most efforts at cutting it to pieces.

A fabric bag for hauling gravel or fill material with packstock is available for Forest Service use. Replacement fill material is often needed for trail work, especially for turnpike construction and tread maintenance. Using packstock to haul gravel or other fill material is practical when motorized equipment is impractical or not allowed. The Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) was asked to develop plans, and fabricate and test fabric bags that could be mounted on packsaddles.
