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.

Gravel Bags for Packstock
Technology & Development Program Missoula Montana, April 2007 - 1.9 MB
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.
