FS: Early Winters 2person 4season tent, Omnipotent

[Dan M]

FS: an Early Winters Omnipotent, #1927, from the late 1970's. This is an integrated double wall, 2-person, 4-season expedition tent, and has seen very little use. It is in excellent condition.

Asking price is $375. It's a collector's item. I can afford to wait for the right buyer who has nostalgia for a great design from the past.

Notable Design Features and Specs of the Omnipotent tent.

1. Tunnel-hoop design.

2. Double-wall design with integrated rainfly. The Omnipotent's inner tent is actually not the "strong" part of the tent's skin, being more or less suspended off the outer, waterproof skin via a scrim of mosquito netting-like material.

3. Poles: Innovative super-slim, super-light, super-strong pole system. These poles are shock-corded, hand-laid fiberglass; flexible and exterior mounted in sleeves.

4. Needing only two tent stakes for mild conditions (14 stakes for the most extreme conditions).

5. Easy to move to a different place around your campsite.

6. Fairly lightweight for the extreme strength compared to geodesics or traditional A-framed expedition tents; about 6 pounds.

Hey @Earlywinters....this post is from 9 years ago and @Dan M hasn't posted in a long while..... you could try shooting him a message thru his profile but I wouldn't hold your breath.

what a classic .... a snapshot of early, progressive NW mountaineering design at its finest.
