Although considered a “treestand pack”, ScentLok’s BE:1 Grinder can also easily fold into a mobile (aka saddle) hunting scheme. The updated BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack sports exterior compression straps for holding and toting climbing sticks and platforms, which are commonly carried by saddle hunters. Customer feedback and extensive internal testing combined to establish this new, critical feature for mobile hunters. To that, the pack now offers riggings to manage your bow in and out of the field, promoting handsfree travel.
The standout feature which lead to the pack’s original success is the large side access that allows access to the main compartment without opening the top. The result minimizes movement in the field while reaching for items lower in the pack. Instead of standing up or reaching up to unzip the main compartment from the top, one can remain seated while using a single hand to retrieve the required tool quickly and efficiently from the bag’s main compartment.
Scent control has always been standard equipment. Overlooked in many whitetail hunters’ scent-control regimens, backpacks are notorious scent bombs, often carrying bacterial and ambient odors on their fabrics or on the key accessories and other essentials carried inside. The BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack combats such hunt-ruining threats with a Carbon Alloy lining to adsorb and lock away odors from the gear placed inside.
Critical scent-control capabilities aside, the BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack features 17 specialized pockets with 2,800 total cubic inches of storage space. Engineered for comfort, stealth, and longevity, the BE:1 Grinder Treestand Pack is constructed from a durable and extremely quiet high-count tricot polyester fabric. Breathable shoulder straps and back pads combine with four-way adjustability to create a comfortable fit on any hunter and under any load. The straps are removable, too, especially for fleet of foot hunts. A hidden rain fly can be quickly deployed to protect the pack and its contents from precipitation. Once at the stand, a durable thermoplastic handle allows the pack to be hung with confidence.

For those looking for a smaller option, ScentLok has its BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack. This midsize option bodes well for mobile hunters who aren’t carrying large loads into the field. Perfect for thrifty day hunts and preseason scouting missions where supreme organization is still paramount.
The pack’s frame is cloaked in a durable, quiet, micro-polyester suede, while the material’s Carbon Alloy yields the all-important scent control. An intelligent strap system promises to make the BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack fit like a tailored shirt, using wide, padded and adjustable shoulder straps. These are paired with an adjustable chest strap to centralize the weight of the pack. A padded back further eases the burden, while a removable waist strap steadies the load.
The BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack is hydration compatible as well, offering a pouch pocket, loops, and hangers for installment and operation perfection. The BE:1 Grinder Lite has six internal and two external pockets. Next, a pack-length expandable panel yields additional storage and expands for pass-through carrying-storage of items such as a tripod or camera arm when taking optics and camera equipment into the field. Lastly, an outside sleeve and securing strap accommodate a traveling beverage container.
