As̈raakava are kavkema who choose to stay unaffiliated and brave the dangers of Nekenalos entirely on their own.

This isn't necessarily as reckless as it sounds - a single kavkem has a smaller tracking profile than two or more, meaning they can often bank on being entirely overlooked. The downside is that once they are caught in a trap or individually tracked, that's typically the end of them - there's no one to get them out of their pickle.

Alternatives to the life of an as̈raakav are living in a group, or even joining one of the organisations.
