I live way out on a mountainside. About 10 years ago the power company finally put the poles along the roads --before that they had to backpack into the woods to fix the lines. Now we're only ever out for a few hours. The last time we were out for over a day was that bad Thanksgiving storm in 2018.

I also have a little inverter generator that runs on propane or gas that has a weatherproof tent so I can put it a safe distance from my house, and a bunch of quality extension cords and a little battery backup that can run the router for a few hours (which is all I really ever use). Eventually I'd love to buy solar panels and a battery bank.

It's perfectly dealable and totally not worth burying lines for. I doubt they'd stay stable and be a more sustainable solution anyway. The things that I have had heave in this ground, and the rocks whenever we've dug into it...
