I was wondering what (if any) extra gear can be carried on a flight? Say if I wanted to take a cooker and some food etc?
Cheers for any info.
Blue_Skies,
Welcome to our campfire. Pull up a seat, grab a cold one, and be among friends.
You can take a couple of kilos of almost anything that you can name, but a cooker might be a bit much. Almost anything you may want to cook probably needs refrigeration along the way. Hikers' meals are often good choices, with sealed packets, light weight, high nutrient value, and nothing extra needed. Some items are good to eat in-flight, but I recommend having drinking water to go with any solid foods in the sky.
The HG WIKI here has many useful suggestions, which you can tailor to your particular locations and flying style. Nobody should have every possible item, of course. I fly over the desert SouthWest, USA. Coastal pilots would not need some of the things that I want on board.

We have a lot of videos available here. These videos can give some real insights into our "personal flight" experiences.
