I like Knorr cheddar broccoli rice sidekick with additional dehydrated veggies and a clover leaf tuna pouch. Another favourite is instant mashed potatoes (doctored with garlic and other spices), dehydrated veggies and dehydrated hamburger or even rehydrated homemade beef jerky or sliced up...

I have the same trowel as Boatman53; works well. Got it for around $5 at Princess Auto.
