You made a good point in saying that kits aren't enough- one has to aquire survival skills. I would like to point out that joining any historical re-enactment group will help give you some neccessary skills (long made obsolete) while being REALLY fun at the same time. The forging of tools and weapons, the making of cloth and clothing, the use of plants for food and healing, the husbandry of animals- there can be found an actual LIVING expert on each of these subjects who can teach you all there is to know about it.
