You may think this is funny, but I really got a lot out of the book Wilderness Survival for Dummies: http://amzn.to/1cBG4M3 .
I have started inventorying my survival gear:

This is my "Get Home Bag" with many items that can be used for camping: http://qol.lt/1G4vyF0 .
This is just a little bit of what I have covered in my collections so far. I still have to go over water equipment, tents, and sleeping bags. I realize that each persons kit is going to be different so YMMV.
TL;DR: You can spend a lot of money getting prepared for the out doors.

If you go into an outdoors/sportsman outlet, you could ask some of the employees where you can get some lessons in your community, or find a local orienteering club. Learning from a text resource gives you the foundation, but you should not try and get lost to see if you can find your way out with that sort of knowledge. By working with the right people and equipment in a real life environment you will learn many strategies and tips, and may even pick up a new hobby. "Survival for dummies" actually has quite a good orienteering section in it for instrument use, and "oh shit i don't have a map or compass" situation.
EDIT: here is the book. Im a fairly experienced outdoorsman and found this book quite helpful in some areas. Especially on finding direction with no compass, and how to deal with psychological factors of being in a survival situation. They have it in the iTunes book store. Could be a good one to have on the iPhone if you happen to have that with you.
People going for a "drift in a small boat" in the Pacific Ocean generally prepare first
