Small amounts of metal on backpacks, etc.?

[Guest guest]

So I know that the less metal we have around ourselves (that is, close to the

body), generally the better.  I already carry a backpack with metal in it;

stainless steel water bottles, aluminum flashlight, small things like tweezers,

knife, nail clippers, etc....

Given that, should I be at all concerned about a pack with metal components in

the straps, such as metal sliders/buckles that the straps pass through?

I'm considering a backpack, but it has metal 3-bar sliders the compression

straps and shoulder strap adjusters pass through.  My main concern was that two

of them are up high on the shoulder straps, near chest level, and some more are

on other straps which compress the bag.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but should I even be worried about this bit

of metal if I already carry metal things with me?

Cheers
