Could you take a weekend camping trip and start on even some basic skills? Starting a fire using a drill bow. Set a snare (you do not have to actually catch anything, but set one, and simulate a small critter tripping the trap). Land navigation with a map and compass.
Do some primitive camping where you have to hump all your gear in for 2 days? Even going through the motions of picking a spot, setting up camp, getting firewood, location of water, cooking, where to pee, are good ways to learn the logistics.
Wont turn you into Bear Grylls in one weekend, but even gaining some basic skills will give you confidence.
And, you are outdoors!
