You bet you can.

Clay, a long-time Ural owner in Dover, England, writes:

As far as getting all your gear on a Ural I do a lot of travelling and I carry a 16ft round 8ft high canvas tent, a double inflatable mattress, double sleeping bag, a couple of sheep skin rugs, fresh food, some cold beers, a home made travel kitchen containing all I need and clothes, oh, and my gorgeous girlfriend Shirley. Depending how big your dog is it should be no problem for you.

Jodie and I plan to begin our Ural camping adventures this summer. Clay’s list is similar to what Jodie and I will be carrying. Granted, we don’t carry sheep skin rugs, but when you’re engaged to a knitter, odds are good that there’s the better part of a fleece snuck into the rucksack somewhere.

As far as this summer goes, we probably won’t be going to far afield, so our supply list will be a little tame. Some of the things we’d be taking (rough list off the top of my head) include…

• Milk crate full of camping supplies (silverware, stove, cookware, etc.)
• Food
• Water
• Coffee
• Double sleeping bag
• Tent
• Dog supplies (food, ground stake, water dish, etc.)
• Cooler
• Homebrew
• Wine
• Maybe sleeping pads and pillows
• Camp chairs
• Ural tool kit, spare tire
• Maybe a gas can
• Cute dog
• Hot fiancee

Thanks for the advice, Clay. Once we start camping with our Ural, we’ll be posting photos (on the trip and how we pack out the Patrol) and our camping gear list too.
