Dean, we have tested camels, but you can't spend a day prospecting without finding everywhere camel dung, they really look like small meteorites, perfect dummies. The other problem is that camels can't cross on rocky areas and have few autonomy without at less dry grass once a day. We have finally opted for a middle choice between local fauna (we haven't found the equivalence of Antarctica penguins collecting meteorites for use in nest building) and helicopter or C-130 Hercules : ==> our two loyal old Range Rover.
