Topband: How Good is Good Enough?

[ZR]

Two winters ago I had insulated #10 stranded chewed completely thru in a few 
places and all concentrated in a 100' area. Spliced and soldered and it 
hasnt happened since. Lots of deer and other critters around here so anyone 
could have been the culprit.
That BOG is made of odd lengths of scrap #10 to 16 insulated and lays on the 
typical woodland ground cover, pine needles and leaves. I shake it free 
every season so it doesnt wind up getting buried.
