Do rucksacks also have hardened steel sharp bits sticking out and/or covered
in black grease as well?


One of mine does (lots of buckles, a metal frame etc). Grease-wise, it's
cotton duck (I think) covered in some stinky wax waterproofing that is wont
to smear everywhere.


It's highly amusing to use the beast on the tube, especially on a hot day
when the wax melts, smells and runs.


Um, what does it smell? And why does it run from it?...
