Here in the desert southwest pack rats (White throated wood rats) are our
nemesis. They are extraordinarily destructive to automobiles parked outside. I
have two outside and we keep the hoods partially open and put drop lights under
the hoods. I have had RG213 jackets gnawed in short order but Heliax seems
impervious. The cable loom would be food to these guys.

I am planning on running a length of FSJ-4 (1/2" Andrews superflex) from the
house to the end of the back yard. In the spring I will bury it, but until
then it needs to sit on top of the lawn. I worry about something eating
through it--although it's pretty hefty for something to chew on, it wouldn't
surprise me.
I was thinking I'd put the cable in say a 1" or 1-1/2" split cable loom, just
as an extra cover to fend off teeth. Dumb? Unnecessary? What does the
Collective Wisdom say?
TIA,
