Most clothes and supplies get stowed inside the boat; just a few larger items will be tied atop the stern. Because access to the interior is through three small, round hatches, we've stuffed the gear into a colorful collection of long, sausage-shaped bags. Some less-water-resistant items (e.g., paper maps) are packed in sealable, "dry bags."
There are weight constraints because we'll have to portage around some obstacles at the beginning of the trek. We aren't as careful as the through-hiking community (who weigh every safety pin because they carry every safety pin), but packing entailed a lot of hard decisions nevertheless.
