    I dig a hole and place a length of fibre optic I have in the hole.
    Now I wait for a backhoe operator to come by and dig it up. I then follow them back to civilisation.

        Its not that hard, all it takes is a bad map, no due diligence, and a short timeline.

        Maps aren’t always right, construction companies have to pay for dial before you dig plans so they don’t get them, if they do the ground found be marked wrong, the digger is only paid for 3 hours of work and they started 2 hours ago so they go faster.
