Freezing cold, inside my house it gets below 10 degrees as the houses are not insulated and have no heating.
If it does not go below 0 °C, then I am able to stand it. There were a few days in the previous winter, when the heating turned off in -5 °C. I survived, but I would not risk it in long term.
Summer is too hot… inside it is 31 degrees Celsius now.
I heard that it is often around 40 °C outside.
Abandon houses are guarded and most caves are turned into houses.
I know. This is what I mentioned to @dswigle a few minutes ago. I know about a small group of Hungarian people living in caves. If I go there, then maybe the best would be to join them.
Have you looked into the house/ pet sitting yet?
I already asked many people, but no one let me into their house with my Harris's hawk so far in any circumstances.
Or maybe camping grounds, that are empty in the winter, where you could work on the terrain / maintain it to live in a tent or little hut?
I thought about living in a tent, but currently I do not know how to even set it up properly. I currently do not have any experience with it.
I am still trying to look for a solution.
On the freezing temperatures…. I don’t know how the humidity is is Hungary
Do keep in mind along the coast it is very humid and this affects your sensation of being able to withstand freezing temperatures. Inland the humidity changes… so research that well.
Yes, 40 degrees Celsius and above inland Spain for sure reaches. The 31 degrees is inside my apartment at the moment. It makes it hard to think and do anything… can make you sick.
Finding empty caves will be hard, only if you know people and could share with them this is doable in short time. Do keep in mind the laws changed here drastically… with regards to squatting.
I still think short term a van or suv would work better than coming to Spain.
Such a shame the hawk is holding you back in finding something.
The setting up a tent thing shouldn’t be a problem, nowadays all you need is YouTube. Everything you can find on there. How to set up a tent, what you need for living etc. You can learn that while watching.
What I meant by camp grounds was more like…
Go talk to the owners of a camp ground, that rents out spaces for holidays. Now the holiday season is almost over, maybe you could work for them on the terrain, keep it up… clean the grounds… in exchange for living space in a hut or some kind of building. Or even a tent… maybe work something out with the owner of a campground. You could do shows with the hawk too for the visitors when holiday season starts again. Try thinking outside the box.
I’m Just thinking out loud here to give you some ideas @xplosive
Or try farms… working there, the hawk can help get rid of other birds that harm crops.
Hope you find something. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
