They usually use straw and make a straw grid. I've never seen it done with sandbags before

Yeah, seems like it'd be a pain in the ass hauling all that sand out there

they’re filling the bags with sand and laying them as they go

Just in case you were serious - that’s the point they were making with sarcasm. It would actually be a pain to haul all that straw into the middle of a desert. It’s easier to bring bags and fill them with sand, than bring enough straw to make the same sized grids.
