I've seen them around some rather permanent facilities and they're quite functional (3-wire, 2 hot 1 ground). Around temporary camps? Not us, but that was with weight restrictions. With no limit and the wife along, I'd give it some thought, so that she could sleep more soundly. It's a pain in the butt though to pack insulators or step in posts.

Locally, I suggested one of the C/D battery units to a friend whose labs were digging under or jumping over his chainlink installation. Cured that issue in short order. Battery life is fairly good, because they simply charge a capacitor and the power is delivered only when the short occurs.
