"Where" as much as "what" Posted by: mctec on Jun-21-12 8:48 AM (EST)
I think the trick to camping out of a low-volume beauty like the Chatham 17 is an equal measure of knowing WHAT to pack...and WHERE to pack it. The fine bow and stern spaces come to mind, as well as the previously mentioned space between the foot pegs and the forward bulkhead. Ultra light and compact backpacking gear should leave you ample space for food, water, clothes and a few other other necessities.
