   It has been conjectured that the easiest way to locate a buried fiber optic cable is to start digging.

   (The actual easiest method is to install the conduit or direct burial cable with tracer wire)

      Always bring a length of fiber optic cable when you're in the wilderness. If you get lost or stranded, bury the cable. Within a few hours, a backhoe will stop by to dig it up, and the crew will rescue you.
