We get all we need for up to 10 days in a modified K2 . It has a luggage opening between the people openings & one behind the rear person. We put a 60ltr barrel inside down in front of the feet of the front persons feet, 2 esky's (ice boxes) in the opening between the 2 people & a barrel & an esky in the back opening. All the other stuff is just packed in around the seats & any place else. A barrel is stacked on top of the 2 esky's. The kayak only just floats to begin with but as the food & drinking water load lightens it lifts out of the water. I like to take a water melon for the first couple of days, it sits between my legs.
4 to 6 in a canoe for days on end would be a challenge! I have seen couples nearly come to blows after a few days!
