I dont think anyone mentioned it, but I highly recommend you find the best set of binoculars that you can afford for this trip. They will be your number one tool for finding and killing an elk. You will feel naked if you dont have glass to look through on your hunt.

For my feet 600 grams is too hot. You will be moving, and that much insulation could cause your feet to sweat. Sweating feet=wet feet. Wet feet=Cold Feet.
