I had a very masculine childhood, by the standards of the tweet in the OP. At the time, I didn't realize it, but my boy scout troop was extreme about camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, canoeing, trail maintenance, and all that stuff. I grew up along the Appalacian trail, so people around here take outdoorsmanship pretty seriously. I spent most weekends in the woods. Even in the dead of winter, we would go out at least 2 or 3 weekends a month, regardless of weather. I've hiked and camped in blizzards and storms, and learned skills they don't teach people any more, like how to read a paper map and build a fire. I've had stew with goat and venison, and all that.
IMHO, the best camping delicacy is actually a casserole. You pack in a bag of pasta, a few cans of tuna, and a block of cheese. You cube the cheese, mix it all in a dutch oven with some water, and let it cook. You don't need any seasoning or fancy techniques, and there's nothing better on a cold winter night around a camp fire. Stew can be good, but it's not as good as a simple dutch oven tuna casserole.
