Technology & Bastet Tech
The Owakaya embrace technology selectively, favoring equipment that is durable, portable, and useful in difficult environments. Their innovations often involve water storage, desert travel, navigation, lightweight machinery, portable shelters, survival tools, and field-repairable equipment. They have little interest in massive industrial centers when a smaller, more reliable device can accomplish the same task. Owakaya Bastet Tech reflects the same philosophy, emphasizing endurance and practicality over prestige.
