I know the topic of army surplus smell has received a lot of attention already. Most opinion focuses on "musty" or "canvas" odours.
I have a Belgian m98 rucksack that absolutely stinks with a strong chemical odour, I am assuming an anti mold agent.
It kind of creeps up on you, but yesterday I spent a couple of hours experimenting with different load outs, and it really started to bug me.
This morning I woke up with a fierce headache and I am good for nothing.
The way I feel today I would not want the pack inside a tent with me.
Apart from pure speculation does anyone have any actual knowledge of what the quartermaster use in these storage facilities ?
