BOSS was conceived in 1968 by Larry Dean Olsen, author of Outdoor Survival Skills. Olsen felt that our modern lifestyle had dulled our ability to adapt to harsh conditions, and created a wilderness program to challenge participants both mentally and physically.
In 1980, BOSS was incorporated as a private business in Boulder, Utah.
In 1985, BOSS was taken over by David Wescott. Wescott expanded the program to teach the skills of the local Puebloan cultures, and hired instructors with an appreciation of their history. It has been suggested that Pueblo be merged into this article or section. ...
In 1994, BOSS alum and former staff member Josh Bernstein returned as Marketing and Administrative Director, opening a new office in Boulder, Colorado. Bernstein restructured BOSS to include a greater emphasis on traditional cultures, attracting greater media attention.[2]
In 1997, Bernstein became CEO/owner of BOSS.
Philosophy
The BOSS philosophy is to teach with technique, not technology. In the field course, a BOSS staple since 1968, participants carry no tents, sleeping bags, stoves or backpacks, and carry little more than a knife, a poncho, and the clothes on their backs. BOSS believes in traveling light and becoming part of the wilderness.
Criticism While many testimonials can be found on the company's web site, the outdoor experience offered by BOSS is not without its dangers. In July 2006, a participant in one of BOSS' field courses died of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.[3]
