Xstand buckle
You then pull up the stand and slide it over the receiver, attaching it with a locking pin. Instead of having to hold, position, and hang the entire stand you simply hang the Quick Hitch Receiver to the tree with the ratchet strap. It creates a safer situation when hanging your treestand. I like the Quick Hitch Receiver concept that this stand uses. It is simply a matter of unbuckling the backpack straps and wrapping each around the tree, re-buckling and pulling tight to secure the bottom of the stand.
The bottom is secured with straps and buckles integrated into the backpack straps. First, the top of the stand attaches via the Quick Hitch Receiver to the tree with a ratchet strap and locking pin. The X-Pedition uses two points of attachment at the tree providing rock-solid stability and peace of mind while hunting. The bungee cords are very tight, but this is necessary to ensure that your stand is silent when slipping in under the cover of darkness.
The X-Pedition packs tightly with the sticks and has bungee cord attachments on the bottom of the stand to allow you to secure four climbing sticks to the stand for easy entry and exit. I will review these sticks at another time. I paired this stand with a set of Venom climbing sticks by X-Stand. The flexibility of this stand system made concealment and stealth easy and led to a mature doe harvest. I took my first deer of 2017 hunting from this stand in a tree that I would not have been able to access with my climbing system or a ladder stand. The X-Pedition is a lightweight hang-on stand that is perfect for remote setups where packing in a stand is your best or only option. While looking for the perfect hang and hunt setup, I came across the X-Pedition stand and it definitely caught my eye with a good mix of value and features. The 2017 season was my introduction to using the X-Stand line of products. Seat is 19″ wide and 10″ deep with a 3″ thick cushion.Today I am reviewing the X-Pedition hang on tree stand from X-Stand Treestands.
