would it be out of place to add facts about camels in this article?Tortinshaar (talk) 15:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Probably it would be out of place, unless they are specifically of interest to camel trains. There's a [camel]] article, though; check that out. - DavidWBrooks 18:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Lattimore's journey

His 1926 journey resulted in his account of the experiences: The Desert Road to Turkestan. London : Methuen & Co., 1928 (or London : Methuen, [1928]); Boston : Little, Brown, and Company, 1929. The UK ed. seems to have preceded the US one.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:44, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Camels as travelling libraries

The probably does not belong in the article but it has elements in common

A Camel Library Service in Kenya. This service which is funded by the Kenyan government and as a charity in Garissa and Wajir near the border with Somalia. The service started with three camels in October 1996 and had twelve in 2006 delivering 7000 books, daily in English, Somali and Swahili This service has been used as a background for the novel The Camel Bookmobile by Masha Hamilton.

I think it does belong in the article, at the bottom as a related subsection - it's very interesting! You should add it. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Distances?

This article would benefit from a brief discussion of average distances traveled per day by camel trains under various conditions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.152.92 (talk) 02:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

There already a discussion of this under "Camel caravan organization " / "Speed", based on Owen Lattimore's account (as experienced in Inner Mongolia in the 1920s). The main point is that you travel at a pedestrian's walking speed. -- Vmenkov (talk) 14:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Excellent point. I have slightly expanded the introduction, which was too brief, and mentioned this fact, which isn't immediately obvious. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

"Caravan"

The usage and primary topic of Caravan is under discussion, see talk:travel trailer -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:15, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
