I live in an old house that has no grounding system. As I do many projects using considerable voltages, like vacuum tube amplifiers, I need at least a grounded wall socket for my own security and the security of my devices. So, as my house is rented, I don't want to request someone to make a full/proper ground installation for the entire house. Instead, I created my own grounded socket. Fortunately, the house as a backyard, so I bought a copper grounding rod and buried it into the backyard and then I took a thick wire from it to the inside of the house and made a connection to the ground pin of a "female" socket and I'm using it for my projects.
Below, there is a simple video showing the efficiency of that system I made:
