Why not go on a death quest into the Amazon or something? I get that you want to die, but why not go out super awesome in a jungle or something?
On the practical side, I think burying your food is a good idea but keep in mind moisture makes cans rust.
If you can afford it, get some freezedried stuff:

Personally I don't think $1k is a bad deal for ~220 days worth of food. They are lying about the 1 year thing, just divide the total number of calories they claim is in the kit (440k) by a 2000 calorie diet. It's probably more like a 6-8 month supply, max.
You need a good knife, a folding saw, a good backpack, a way to purify your water, and the knowledge to make a rocket stove since you probably won't have enough camp fuel, and your goal is probably to use local wood. A hatchet would be handy but not necessary... a fishing pole would be good if you are into that kind of thing... Idk the normal stuff like sleeping bags and flashlights?
As for a shelter, it depends on if you are staying in the snow or not, and it depends on if you are staying alive long enough to warrant a more permanent structure. (see pic for basic ideas)
This one is pretty good:

Crapping next to your tent is less than ideal, knowledge about latrines and how to make this process pleasant would make life easier. Generally pissing away from where you crap will make it smell a lot less.
A small solar panel if you want to listen to music from your iPod or charge batteries for some reason.
