The "Thing" On The Treestand That You Did Not Know What It Was For, I Think It Is For Putting Your Treestand Haul Line Onto It, To Pull Your Treestand Up The Tree With It. But That's Just My Guess...
I purchased this setup to replace my old setup I used to run a Big Game stand with three 30" hawk sticks. Hopefully I will like this setup better I'm just disappointed that the weight advertisement is inaccurate.
great little review. that would be the stand i would purchase if i ever wanted to get into a tree. great help and i may look further into it..... well see!
Wish I’d known about the free shipping code lol! Mine will be here today from midway. I’m pretty excited to give this a try this year. I sold my old run n gun setup. Hawk helium xl + helium sticks. To get a saddle setup. Then I realized how much it’ll cost me for a saddle setup. Then found this setup for $210. So i couldn’t pass it up!!
It definitely has its perks for a solid budget setup. I just wish it cam locked better and you could ditch the ratchet strap! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Michigan Great Outdoors i ended up hacking off the 2 little wings for the adjustable platform. I didn’t like how it wouldn’t sit flat. So now that slider will go between one of the webbing on the platform. I’m not one to hike a really long ways to hunt. So I’m sure this setup will work awesome for me. I ended up getting some XOP straps off of amazon for $22 for the stand. Then I’m going to make a strap with a clip for the chest. Im hopes it’ll carry easier. I’ll shut up and stop bugging you. Looking forward to more videos. Hope you have a fun and safe year
So close to 1k subs buddy! Great review video too, this one will definitely put you over your milestone! Looks like a really high quality stand for that price point. The idea of making it a stash stand is a really clever! Just make sure to hide it well lol
I assembled mine last night. Coming from a pack n stack ladder stand, it’s a weight improvement for me without dropping $400-$500. After some stealth strips and amsteel upgrades I think it’ll do the trick. Would I prefer a LWCG? Sure, but the savings are preferred. Also, I was stumped by the mystery bracket on the back too but I think it might be for the cruder tree bracket. Could be wrong but a guess.
Right on about the weight. I'm 6ft 180 and in good shape but I'm a heavy sweater and I def consider weight. It's not uncommon to walk two miles. 3 to 5 lbs matter at that distance
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors I have hawk helium climbing sticks and was about to order this stand but I'm glad I did my research and came across your honest review. Just wish it didn't need that ratchet strap to solidify it in the tree plus it's supposed to be lighter. I can accept it if it was 10 pounds all together but it's close to 13 pounds when it's supposed to be 9. I think I'll pass up on that stand and go with the XOP vanish. No big deal thank you again.
I’m not sure you’re talking about the same Tresstand. The hawk ultra lite xt, is listed at 7lbs. The hawk helium ultra lite is listed at 11 lbs. Are they different treestands?
This is the new hawk ultralight stand was supposed to be 7lbs its not. There is also a helium pro thats supposed to be 12 but its probably not. Hawk lies in their product descriptions. The ultra-lightweight xt or whatever u call it weighs 12 with no seat no buckles, 12.5 with seat and cam buckle. 13 with ratchet strap and cam buckle.
They never should have claimed 7lbs. Saying 9 on the box and not even coming close is straight up lying. This explains why I never found a 7lb stand on their website after seeing the ATA video. Shameful.
I'm ordering this stand for my girlfriend to use when we are hunting public because it's more compact then my helium xl and also it use the same cruzr bracket. Also great review
Got mine comin. I never sit on a mobile set anyway so I’ll lose a couple pounds by removing the seat...not too concerned about the inaccuracies on the wait. Plan on using this for the set that I won’t be concerned about leaving over night in a hot spot if the situation calls. Great review and very informative, just could’ve gone without the F bombs at the end as the kiddos were in the room while I watched this buuut I won’t hold it against ya. LOL I mean I get it...who doesn’t hate the wind!!!😂😂😂
Sorry, im actually gonna stop doing that. I appreciate your feedback. Ive always thought it was funny but ive got kids too, 3 boys and I should do a better job. Thank you for your feedback and yeah stand feels solid!!!
Great review. However, stated weight specs are always an exaggeration from these companies. My guess is that all removable parts are removed when they weigh it. Seat and straps are not included in weight? Chinese paint also has lead and other toxic metals in it so it can be heavier.
Its pretty much some BS how hawk brought this out at 7lbs and 1.5lb sticks. They shoulda been sued. Its not lighter then my xop stand amd sticks. Good price tho. Alot of people are not happy tho. Alot
Man I have the Hawk Helium (none XL) from 5+ years ago and it's lighter than this. It disappeared from the market a few years ago and Hawk would never respond to my questions about it. Now I know why... My confusion is how is the Old stand lighter?? 🤦♂️ I will be talking about this soon. Follow me and @thegoatrope to not miss it.
If I had to describe this stand in one word: underwhelming. It's essentially a more janky Muddy Outfitter stand. The biggest negatives to the Hawk stand are the shady tree bracket and that slick coating, holy squeaky. yikes. I think the Muddy Outfitter beats this stand.
I would 100% agree with you! Its too bad because it should have been so much better, but at the same time it is a budget stand and the price is hard to beat! Thanks for watching and your comment! 💪
I think the hole is for the hawk treestand strap.
That makes sense!

Oh yeah, that makes sense! thanks
That notch is for the CRUZR quick hang bracket
Ok, thanks!
aluminum is metal too
Yes.
Very beautiful review my dear friend I like it dear friend good job
Thank you so much 🙂
The hole is where the sticks mate with it for carrying.
Thanks
Nice stand.... Great video.... Enjoy your stand...I might have to pick one up
Thank you! Good luck!
What is the seat height? I am 4,11 😅
Its short, should work for that
I purchased this setup to replace my old setup I used to run a Big Game stand with three 30" hawk sticks. Hopefully I will like this setup better I'm just disappointed that the weight advertisement is inaccurate.
Yeah its a little bummer, fortunately the sticks are good quality! Best of luck to u!
I like your no b.s. vids. Keep em coming!
Thank you 🤙🤙
Can you make a video on how to pack the mini sticks on I can’t find a good way to hold them steady
I will try and do this for you!
great little review. that would be the stand i would purchase if i ever wanted to get into a tree. great help and i may look further into it..... well see!
Thanks man, its definitely a good value for the price but there are better options for sure.
Not like you can't get those cam buckle straps for it from lone wolf or xop to loop around
Yeah, absolutely!

Thanks Fox, you're support has surely helped me get to this milestone!! Thank you
You should show how you pack the sticks to it.
Maybe ill work on a quick video for this! Thank you for the suggestion!

Awesome man! I agree its a setup u can surely work with and for the price its great! Thanks for stopping by!
The little bracket at the bottom on the back looks like a spot to put on accessories. But I haven't bought one yet. Great review.
My x stand expedition strap on weighs 11# with straps. Ehhhhh I'll just stick with that. I was excited about a 7# stand. Thanks. Nice video.
Thanks for watching! Novix will have a new stand and Beast stand should be out by end of the year hopefully.

Yeah it sure does. Thanks for watching 🤙
Wow I don't like the ratchet strap and it's not as light as they say it is. Thank you for the review.
Anytime bud! I dont care for the ratchet either but the stand is pretty rock solid on the tree!

It would be worth it if it was actually 7 pounds but maybe not now. I guess for price it’s pretty good
Thats how I feel. You cant get anything this cheap with sticks!
You can't buy that combo on midway for 209 anymore. Its $329 now
Thats crazy......
Went to order one because its a great deal and midway USA has it listed for 329.99 not not the 209 list price
@@stevenlooney9075 thats a steep price. $209 was way better
Bought today from midway. $209. Code is
FreeshipXXDD (XX=month, DD=day-today) for free shipping.
Nice vidio... 👍🙏
Thank you!
They never should have claimed 7lbs. Saying 9 on the box and not even coming close is straight up lying. This explains why I never found a 7lb stand on their website after seeing the ATA video. Shameful.
Yup, pissed a lot of guys off!!
Did they consider how to pack sticks with the stand
I dont see anything on this topic, maybe ill make a video on that! Thanks for stopping by! 💪
I'm ordering this stand for my girlfriend to use when we are hunting public because it's more compact then my helium xl and also it use the same cruzr bracket. Also great review
Thank you! Are you in Michigan?
How well will this work on a crooked or leaning tree?
it works fine, since it does have leveling built in!
Just bought one should have it monday. $209.00 free shipping midwayusa
Sweet!!
How did you get free shipping ?
@@nicholasecker1701 it was offered at the time I purchased it
@@nicholasecker1701 same, midway was offering free shipping.
In your opinion how would it compare to a Millennium M7?
I think the platform size is comparable, the M7 seat is way better and the M7 is a lot lighter. I would take an m7 over this stand personally.
This stand was $100, the m7 is $250 !

Ooo yes and it was like 99$ lol
Found the hawk video showing it.. and it's lighter than the one u are reviewing and much older 🤦♂️ czcams.com/video/-PwRVtOAH8M/video.html
