Good skills to have and, as one who has them, I feel they are essential. You need to put some time aside, like an apointment for yourself. There's loads of survival websites that can help home it down quickly so you get the most value for your time. Then you get some stuff and head into the wilderness. Seems like a pretty fun process to me really.
You're on the right track, you want to learn, so I hope you get it started.
