I am selling an Early Winters Omnipotent, #1927, from the late 1970’s. This is an integrated double wall, 2-person, 4-season tent, and has seen very little use. It is in excellent condition. I have several pictures and will send via email on request. Price reduced to $200. 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. Rather 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 with four lightweight stakes.

An early single wall tunnel tent. Here is a photo of a friend's Omnipotent:

This is not a single wall tent, but rather a double wall tent. This is the modified "newer" version with Gore-tex panels at each end.

Bomb shelter tent. I sat out some blizzards in one. Completely buried...no problem. Quiet. No flogging. Warmer than other tents due to the enclosed double wall. However a bitch to get in/out.
