I wouldn't bother bringing this stuff on a 7-day hunt. I know you think you will need it now, but you'll probably end up getting home and realizing you didn't even take it out of your pack. Bring a mini Swiss army knife and a cell phone for pictures, if you must.

One pair of fleece gloves will do, and if possible an outer shell layer of gloves in case you spend hours glassing in the rainy wind.

I wouldn't bother bringing sleep-specific clothing. Sleep in your day-use clothes and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Less weight, and the stuff you're already carrying can do double duty.

When backpacking out of spike camp, minimizing unnecessary weight and bringing gear that is extremely efficient is the name of the game. The less you're carrying, the further and harder you can push yourself each day.

JMO, of course.
