Survivalist Legacy: Luke Olsen’s Family Background
With an enriching childhood centered on developing survival skills, Luke Joseph Olsen was raised to be one with nature. As the 11th child of bestselling author Larry Dean, who wrote, ‘Outdoor Survival Skills,’ Luke had an adventurous childhood. Luke grew up in his family’s hot springs resort in southern Idaho called Miracle Hot Springs. Currently based in Maui, Hawaii, Luke is 39-years-old, and his first expedition can be traced back to his pre-pubescent days.
At age 11, Luke’s elder brothers took him to kayak on the Sea of Cortez. Thanks to his parents, who are the founders of The Anasazi Foundation and wilderness therapy programs, Luke experienced the bliss of nature early on. With an unerring resolve to reflect the fruits of his upbringing, Luke appears on History Channel’s ‘Alone’ to showcase how nature’s unforgiving wrath can also be mended by humans for peaceful co-existence.
Luke Joseph Olsen’s Profession
The contours of Luke Joseph’s being have been shaped by the formative years he spent in the wilderness. However, Luke has also ventured into a number of other fields. In his early twenties, Luke moved to Northern California and established a medical cannabis farm in the depth of the Trinity Alps.
After working on his medical cannabis farm for seven years, Luke kicked things up a notch, moved to Oregon and established a recreational cannabis business and exclusively distributed Willie’s Reserve.
