Does anyone know how serious they are on the "no backpacks" rule at Dyess ?

[Andy27]

i dont know but Id email them

[fighterfan2010]

They are VERY serious about it from what I hear. The mesh, clear view one I have that I use for my scanner and equipment was unacceptable last time out there, and even at Shepard AFB last year it was a no go. So they have gotten serious about it.

At Sheppard they let me in fine on Sunday with my Canon bag but there were only a thousand or two people there

Thanks for info - will e-mail them anyway...
Anyone has a good idea how to minimize risk of not being let in with two bodies / 3 lenses ? Would slightly larger than typical camera bag be OK ?

ACC schedule for May is out and it does not look any ACC demo is coming - everyone's booked at other shows...
