Maybe I've just been lucky, but the long runs of plain vanilla Commscope 
coax laying on the ground in my woods from my Beverages are still fine 
after 7 years. The runs are about 250 ft each. Bobcat, mountain lions, 
and cayote are spotted around here pretty often, lots of deer, rats, and 
gophers, but the predators have gotten the squirrel population down to 
almost nothing. All my cable lay on the ground -- coax, rotator, SteppIR 
control line. It's a very temperate climate, but lots of rain during 
what the folks out here laughingly call winter.
