I’d start by taking a weekend camping trip out of your car. Bring several freeze dried meals meant for camping/hiking and a way to boil water. It’s best to figure out what you can handle in a fun weekend trip. Note what you liked and lacked. Living out of your car for a couple of days will teach you a lot about what you want and need.

So true, camping and backpacking are the most practical ways to learn about prepping, it gives a person the foundation and the basic gear to build on, once you are a comfortable camper, then becoming a prepper becomes easy and natural.
And it is the first step in learning what to do if you have to evacuate. Which I consider the second step of prepping.
If you want to take the next step in the "shelter in place" scenario you just need to flip off your breaker.
Not long, 24 hours will be enough for you to learn several things about what to do when the lights go out.
