For the last 6 years or so I've been taking classes in various primitive skills and wilderness survival from several different instructors and schools.

I've been an avid hiker and camper for a little more than a decade now, and now that I am near some serious bodies of water I will start canoeing and/or kayaking.

I started laying up food and medical supplies quite some time ago and now have several years worth, just in case.

I've been studying simple technologies that can be utilized to great effectiveness in long term emergency situations and have started collecting hand tools that don't require electricity.

As for specific time allotments it varies from month to month depending on a number of outside influences.

I would like to study lifesaving skills, but I'm not sure where to start with this.
