Although considered a “treestand pack”, ScentLok’s BE:1 Grinder easily folds into a mobile (aka saddle) hunting scheme – the hottest trend in the sport. The versatile pack travels fluidly through the fields and forests, too, for the on-the-go hunter.
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 lets you access the main compartment without opening the top. The result is minimizing movement in the field while you reach items lower in the pack. Say a buck appears in an unexpected location and you realize you’ve left your rangefinder inside the pack, which is hanging on the tree next to you at shoulder level. Instead of standing up or reaching up to unzip the main compartment from the top – both options requiring significant movement – you 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. Moreover, this extremely versatile and right-sized pack affords unequaled customization and utility with respect to storing and accessing gear. That means hunters will find exactly the right place to store whatever they need to bring to the stand – securely and efficiently.
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.

Mounting on the success of the BE:1 Grinder Pack, ScentLok advances the BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack, a smaller pack option with the same genetic superiority.
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. You can feel the quality and fabric performance at first touch. And the material’s Carbon Alloy® yields the all-important scent control.
Functional features abound, too, starting with an intelligent strap system to make the BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack fit like a tailored shirt. You’ll appreciate the fully-adjustable, padded, and wide shoulder straps. They 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. Combined, once fit is personalized, the pack feels like it was adapted for your body.
The new BE:1 Grinder Lite Pack is hydration compatible as well, offering a pouch pocket, loops, and hangers for installment and operation perfection.
The available compartments and pockets seal the deal – six internal and two external. Firstly, you’ll appreciate the generous main compartment, which offers a zippered pocket for items like keys and a smartphone, while a pouch with elastic secure holds other essentials. Next, a pack-length expandable panel yields additional storage, but most impressively, 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.
