everything you need, bundled by someone who already made every mistake for you

means A set of parts, tools, or supplies gathered together for a particular purpose — whether to build something, fix something, or carry what you'll need.

from From Middle Dutch 'kitte,' a wooden tankard or vessel — a container for carrying things. English borrowed it as a name for the vessel, then quietly let the meaning slide from the container to its contents: from the box to the bundle of stuff inside. By the time soldiers and tradesmen spoke of their 'kit,' the jug had vanished and only the gear remained.
