Is it possible/an advantage to live off-grid with bitcoin?

What I mean by this is living on a rural property, perhaps running a full-node, completely independent from the existing fiat financial system. We want to remove our dependency of the banks and corrupt political establishment entirely.

Obviously, you would need electricity and a computer to run a node and connect to the network. Perhaps bitcoin is not well suited for rural lifestyle or off-grid?

It depends on which country you are from. If you are from a developed country where a rural setting still gives you the fast internet, consistent supply of electricity, and so on, then I guess there is no problem with it. But if you happen to be in a particular country more or less like mine where a rural setting can be reduced to descriptions such as mountains and trees and rough roads where electricity is rationed for a few hours a day, with slow to no signal, and where internet is unknown, your plan is a mere dream.
