Historic Timeline

 

Excerpts marked “DW” and “LJ” are from letters between David Wescott

and Linda Jamison and are provided here as PDF versions.

 

1967 –1st edition - Outdoor Survival Skills Published – BYU Press                   

1968 – 480 started by LDO at BYU.      

1969 -  BYU Survival won a national award for “Youth Rehabilitation Though Outdoor Survival.” 

1970 – Mother Earth News begins publication

1972 – Trade sessions held at Olsen’s home.

 

Rabbit Stick was conceived at an Olsen trade session. It was the continuation of what had been a wild game feed and trade blanket evening called the “Beaver Banquet.” When Larry Olsen partnered with Dick and Linda Jamison, to form the LDOSA [Larry Dean Olsen Survival Association] and Woodsmoke magazine, Rabbit Stick was the perfect venue for them to invite national leaders to camp together for a few days and share skills. The first one was held in 1978 and featured, among others Jim Riggs, Mtn. Mel DeWeese and Tom Brown Jr.  DW

 

1973 – Larry in auto crash - VW van vs Angus bull - one person killed, 2 severely injured.

1974 – Larry authored the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge for the BSA

1975 – Olsen family moves to Stevensville, MT to start a homesteading school.

            Olsen’s and Jamison’s partner to form the LDOSA and publish Woodsmoke.

 

While sitting on a rock in the desert one hot afternoon Larry said to Richard, "look at all the people who have my book, and your films. There are more people out there than we know, and we need to reach them." They didn't know how they were going to do that, but they determined that it was a worthwhile goal. LJ 92

 

1976 – Denver Boat Show

In 1976 we set up workshop for Larry in Colorado Springs to raise money for the first issue. We arranged for lectures, radio spots, and ran a 2-day workshop.

We also donated all the proceeds from sales of Larry's book "Outdoor Survival Skills," which we took to the Denver boat show and sold by the pallet (BYU press said we sold more books than any other single outlet). We set up a trip and put in all the proceeds from that venture.        LJ 92 

 

They founded Bitterroot Expeditions and started running field experiences through LDOSA.      

Trip Report in issue #1 – The Spartan Trail

 

When the cave was ready for habitation, we returned to the main cave for instruction of fire building. Dick Jamison, Larry's partner showed us how easy and fast it is to build a fire with a bow drill…..After a tasty breakfast of ash cakes and a handful of raisins. Dick taught us how to build Paiute deadfalls out of dogbane twine, willow sticks and flat rocks.  WS #1 P.7   Jarbridge Wilderness

 

1977 – Establish a Montana Homestead

Our excitement in getting the first issue off the press was surpassed only by the excitement of our move from Colorado Springs to Stevensville , MT where we intended to spend the rest of our days happily publishing "Woodsmoke" and conducting primitive skills workshops and expeditions. We sold everything, including our home and business and rented a home "down the lane" from Larry's farm.

We "hired " Rich Johnson (for free), who left a paying job as editor of "Four Wheel Drive Magazine" in California to live with his wife and two children in a cabin on Larry's property with no running water or electricity for a year while he helped get the project off the ground.        LJ 92 

 

1977 – Woodsmoke Magazine is Born

We didn't have the slightest idea how to publish a magazine. We tried to attract a combination of young people who were interested in the "homestead" lifestyle as well as modern day abos. We didn’t have enough material to fill up all the pages, thus a six-page article on "Food Production, People and the Future," in 12 point type, no less, in addition to those by Larry, Richard and myself. Cringe!

We sold one ad to Blue Star Tipi and printed 12,000 magazines on the first run.  LJ 92

1977 – #1

 

1977 – Woodsmoke Vol 1   1977 copyright LDO, Inc. Stevensville, MT

            Used DW's Bow-Drill illustration P. 14 * 

Woodsmoke is a journal of survival, primitive living and homestead excellence. It was conceived first under the title of "The New Homesteader", but even before the first edition was ready to roll, we realized that a much broader scope of survival and primitive living was beginning to emerge, so we settled on Woodsmoke. The name tells it all - from a primitive campfire in a remote cave to grandma's cookstove!

Woodsmoke #1 is our first. We like it and hope you will too. As in all beginnings we realize fully that quality and a more excellent product must come with each issue. You may help too, with your comments and suggestions, and by showing Woodsmoke to your friends. Maybe they'll want to subscribe. There isn't another publication quite like this one, so we hope you enjoy it with us.          The Editors  WS #1 P. 3

                    2nd Annual Rabbit Stick Ad  P. 63-65 – presented by LDOSA

 

Trouble In Paradise – Despite romantic visions of living off the land, real survival concerns must have created tensions among the ranks. No clear history has been found to date – even though Sherrel Olsen kept a detailed diary, she would never say anything bad about someone – but its’ clear that the publishing rights and trademark have been given over to the Jamison’s. Rabbit Stick was always an Olsen brand, so all communications for LDOSA and Rabbit Stick move to SLC  - Olsen Family moves to SLC for 6 months and then moves to Buhl, ID. Jamison’s shifted everything to their Woodsmoke brand, but remain in MT for now as Burnt Fork Publishers. By the end of the year they will have moved everything back to CO. The 1987 gathering name is changed from 2nd Annual Rabbit Stick to 1st Annual Woodsmoke Rendezvous.

 

From Issue #7, Page 10 Editorial -

No. 3. We appreciate the input on our content balance. It has been favorable for more survival, less homestead info. with a few wanting both and no one wanting more homestead. Guess you figure we know more about survival than homesteading ….and you're right!

 

No. 6. Recent developments (1978) have taken place in the ownership of WOODSMOKE Journal of which we feel you should be aware. Henceforth WOODSMOKE is the sole property and under the direction of Richard and Linda Jamison. We are responsible for all obligations debts etc. incurred by WOODSMOKE from this time forward. We also take full responsibility for any and all goof-ups that may take place.

   Our staff has been minimized to prevent additional expense and now is comprised of two over-worked, overspent and somewhat overwhelmed persons. We do it all from subscription filing to layout and mailing so if you have any questions just send them to us ... at least your letters won't get lost in the computer.

   Also, may we ask that you be a little patient regarding correspondence. We love to get your letters and certainly don't want you to feel that we don't have time to read them, just give us an extra week or so to get ‘em answered.

   In the future all mail regarding WOODSMOKE or Anasazi and Bitterroot Expeditions should be sent to our regular mailing address, P.O. Box 62, Stevensville, MT. 59870. Mail regarding LDOSA or LDO, INC. should be sent to P.O. Box 1301 Salt Lake City, UT. 84110, this includes Rabbit Stick, which is sponsored by LDOSA. Subscriptions offered by LDOSA will be handled through the two organizations.

Confused? We hope not. There shouldn't be any obvious changes since we have been operating under these conditions since issue No. 4 anyway - it's just official as of this issue.                        P. 11, Issue #7

Fall 1979 - Rabbit Stick is alive and doing well under the name of Woodsmoke Rendevous! Fewer folks may have attended the second annual Rabbit Stick [first annual Woodsmoke Rendevous] this year but that didn't dampen the spirits of those who were there. There was some confusion as to whether there was or wasn't going to be a get-together this year and we're sure this was responsible for the smaller attendance.

When we at Woodsmoke heard that LDOSA wasn't planning to sponsor the event [Larry was under contract to SUWS by then], we just couldn't watch a good thing go by the wayside, so with 30 days notice we tried to inform as many as possible. Needless to say there were some who didn't get the message. We hope those of you who didn't make it this year will start planning now to attend next year.    Issue #8, P. 53

 

 

Things basically fell apart in 1978 – In 1979, the Olsen’s moved to UT and then on the ID. Jamison’s move back to CO. Richard Johnson moved to ?? and became a well-known writer and still submits articles to Outdoor Life magazine.

In 1980 L. Jay Mitchell, a former student of Larry’s primitive skills class, approached him. L. Jay asked Larry if he wanted to be involved in developing the first for-profit primitive survival program for adolescents called the “School of Urban and Wilderness Survival” (SUWS - which is the oldest of the primitive skills wilderness programs) near Shoshone, Idaho. Larry explains, “I did not have any ownership of SUWS, but I did have a ten year contract with them.” Larry was hired to work on philosophy, curriculum, and train the staff. Left in1987. Started Anasazi with Ezekiel Sanchez in 1988.

Jamison's were on the move  - references to Idaho,Colorado and Centerville, UT

We did all the layout ourselves. Two issues were "printed'' on a copy machine, collated, stapled and folded on our kitchen table by our family. One attempt was no more than a crude newsletter. There were 13 in all. Over a period of 6 years, that’s an average of only 2 per year. Our subscribers were VERY patient.

 

I guess you might say, it was the ultimate " labor of love " and it succeeded until 1986[3] only as a result of the loyal support of people like Jim Riggs and others who generously donated their knowledge in the form of articles. Once, when we thought we had mailed our last issue, someone anonymously sent $500. I was so overwhelmed I cried for hour, and issue #10 was mailed--with the message from the anonymous benefactor on page 1.​​​​​​​​​

 

It was the ultimate sacrifice. In the end, three families literally

lost their homes , jobs and life savings as a result of the

"Woodsmoke" project. Friendships were strained, some beyond

repair, others repaired themselves in time. And, when we were

personally unable to continue to finance the magazine, it

became an anthology [1982 & 1985] and continues to be a

popular source of "basic" primitive knowledge. It's not perfect,

but continues to be a good source of basic knowledge.

I got out some back issues of the old "Woodsmoke Journal"

tonight. I still like to read the articles and I remember typing

every one, but it made me wonder, is "Woodsmoke " becoming

an artifact? I hope not, because a lot of genuine blood, sweat

and tears and considerable sacrifice were involved in the project.

By The Fire

Steve Watts, 2001

 

“Most of human history was made by people who sat by the fire

just as we are doing here tonight”

 

   These were the words (paraphrased to the best of my memory) spoken by Larry Dean Olsen as he, David Wescott, John McPherson, Gerri McPherson, Jim Riggs, Brian James and I sat by the fire late one night at the Rabbit Stick Rendezvous in Idaho in 1988.  His words spoke to the truth to which many practicing primitives subscribe—our history as a species is mostly prehistory.

   The stone age accounts for the vast majority of our shared time as humans. And, present with us throughout that time was our most ancient of comforters—fire.

   It was by these fires that our ancestors lived their lives.  It is to these fires, that we as neoaboriginals, return.

 

1989 -  Society of Primitive Technology, Inc. founded

1990 – Olsen, Jamison and Wescott all meet together at Rabbitstick.

Nevertheless, Richard marveled at the lithics expertise he saw there, which gave me cause to think about the last Rabbit Stick we attended .. in 1990.  LJ 92

 

"Woodsmoke " is still alive in print, however. As you know, in 1990 we set out to compile a third anthology in the "Woodsmoke" series and approached Outdoor Life Book Club to publish the book since they have sold over 50,000 copies of the previous releases over time. Due to cutbacks, buy-outs and changes in management, we have been "on hold" for two years. Last month we made the decision to self-publish and OLBC has agreed, enthusiastically, to offer the resulting book as a featured book to its members as soon as it is off the press. We will pursue this endeavor as soon as we can afford to pay the printer.   LJ 92

 

1991 -  BPT Vol. 1 #1 published, Randolph, KS   Editors John & Geri MacPherson

            BPT Vol. 1 #2 published, Randolph, KS   Editors John & Geri MacPherson

​

We were thrilled at that time to meet craftsmen and women with such marvelous skills. It was also very intimidating. In planning to attend in 1991 I wondered what skills I could teach that someone else could not address far better than I. Larry Olsen made the same comment, that he was overwhelmed and intimidated by the craftsmanship he saw.

Certainly things have changed since the first Rabbit Stick Rendezvous, when the basics weren't basic. Don't get me wrong, we are delighted, albeit a little saddened that the movement appears to be passing us by. I’ll admit I’m a little jealous, and it may sound petty, but I feel like one of the "elders '' in the book "Clan of the Cavebear " ... put out to pasture.

Richard brought home a copy of the Spring 1991 Bulletin of Primitive Technology with an application form to join. Congratulations, we know it isn't easy to publish a 40 ±page magazine and it looks great.   LJ 92

David Wescott, Richard Jamison, and Larry Olsen.

Larry started the first Rabbit Stick in 1978, Dick took it over as the Woodsmoke Rendezvous in 1979

(which became the Woodsmoke Primitive Skills Conference in 1983), and with

Larry's permission, Dave reintroduced the original name 10 years later (now Rabbitstick Primitive Skills Conference), in1988, and built on that tradition again by starting the Woodsmoke Symposium and WoodsmokeUSA.com in the summer of 2012.

 

Richard Laird Jamison - 1940-2017 following a lengthy struggle with FTD  (Frontotemporal Dementia).

Larry Dean Olsen – 1939-2018 - Larry Dean Olsen is a giant in the world of primitive skills.  In fact, nearly        every teacher and practitioner today has a direct or indirect lineage to Olsen.
