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. Included in this report are test results, recommendations, a design pattern, and some alternatives.
