I got half a kilometer of WD1-A fieldphone wire, new on the original
spool, for less than $50. It has both copper and steel strands in each
of two conductors, which makes it pretty strong. I don't think you can
beat this locally, and they claim 4-day delivery

So what is the recommended 2 wires conductor/cable for a 2 wire
reversible BOG? More specifically what can I get at the big-Box home
supply? I have heard of folks trying twisted pair doorbell wire, I
have heard of folks getting old military field wire at the surplus
places. i really don't have any surplus places close by and I would
rather use something easily available rather than mail order. Will ZIP
cord work? I suspect the UV survivability of ZIP cord is not great
here in Florida, but cheap and easy to replace every two years
