[TowerTalk] Split Loom as an anti-critter device?

[john at kk9a.com]

I have had a lot of wires on or near the ground chewed but never Heliax. I
don't think that the rodents or ? care for the hard PVC. If you can elevate
it on lawn chairs, saw horses etc it is even less likely to be damaged.

New to the Northeast, and all the critters that eat...well, everything when
it gets cold enough.

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,
