If you hang your fibre optic cable from poles, you will inevitably evolve flying backhoes.

Too late, already happened, it's called squirrels. cf. CCC NOC logo: https://events.ccc.de/camp/2019/wiki/Static:Network — it's an in-joke about rodents chewing through the (air/tree-strung) uplink fibre multiple times at the 2015 event.

		That campground info hooks back into the old joke I was referencing. What's the most important piece of camping gear you can take with you? A meter or so of fiber optical cable. So that if you get lost of injured you can bury it and wait for the backhoe to show up and dig through it, then get a ride back to civilisation with the operator.
