In another of Gryll's most memorable moments, he disembowels a dead camel and then climbs inside the carcass.
He doesn't sleep in the camel or anything, but he does tell his audience that a disemboweled camel is a great place to shelter during a sandstorm. Never mind that it takes hours to disembowel a camel, so it's not like you can go, "Uh oh, there's a storm coming, better gut this conveniently already-dead camel now!"
Weirdly, we were unable to locate any scientific studies on the advisability of sheltering inside dead animals. We're going to guess that the fresher your disemboweled camel is, the better.
Beyond that, though, you're not Luke Skywalker, and there's no chance you're ever going to get a starring role in the Empire Strikes Back, so you can just cross that one off the pro-con list. Also, wild animals are attracted to dead carcasses, so you really don't want to be inside one when the jackals show up. (Note: Grylls tries to ward off jackals by peeing around his camp, so y'know, props for accuracy.) And finally, animal carcasses that have been baking for hours in the hot sun are full of bacteria and other things that can make you sick, especially if you happen to somehow touch any of the dead decomposing parts of the dead decomposing camel as you are climbing inside. So just no.
