An animal chomped about 20-60 times into 16 gauge lamp cord last
night in the woods in SW Wisconsin. The biting is mostly around the
metal spring clamps connected to the 12 volt lawn mower battery and
going up about 2 feet. Six of the bites go down to just a few stands
but, amazingly, the cables didn't short out or separate. The rest of
the rig, 6' up in a tree was untouched.   Anyone know of a
lightweight, simple way to discourage wire chewing?  I'm headed back
out tomorrow morning. No time to listen to the culprit right now. Rob
