Survival Skills are universal - location is not.

Practice survival in the area you plan on living and camping in.

Taking a good survival course in the American S/W would be fun and teach you the basics of survival and how to procure water and food in that area. Not too much use in Canada.

Since you like camping you can take the things that would work in your area from a good survival book. Practice a few each time you go camping. Buy a whole rabbit in a store or dealer and take it with you. Try and cook it using one of the methods in the book. Get a small game license and try and get something during hunting season. Cook it in your back yard.

Survival is not something you need to learn all in one weekend. It can be a set of skills you add over the course of time. Make a list and check off what you can do now, stuff you need practice on and skills you need to learn.
