Learn long-term primitive Survival Skills!

This is the second course in the Survival Standard Training system and offers advanced survival training that every survivalist must have. Our goal is to progressively add skills through each course, until you’ve mastered them and are ready to test yourself in our intense Scout Survival Challenge! In the Adv Survival Standard, we add the more advanced primitive survival skills geared more towards long-term survival. This is the next step in transitioning you to knife-only survival. We cover the foundational skill sets of survival in the Survival Standard course that are geared more for short term short-term skills, but in this course we will start with the more advanced primitive survival skills. This is the next step in transitioning you to knife only knife-only survival! .

SIGMA 3 isn’t going to teach you dogmatic techniques you will find in survival manuals. We are going to show you what we call “The 1% Information—" the skills that are difficult, to almost impossible, to learn on your own.

The purpose of the wilderness survival training courses is to slowly transition you into being able to live off the land as a self-reliant survivalist. Our courses will give you the confidence that no matter what happens, no matter what gear is available, you will survive! I can promise you after this course is over, you won’t fear the wilderness anymore. Getting lost in the woods will feel like a vacation, instead of a survival scenario!

THE SKILLS TAUGHT IN THIS CLASS ARE THE SAME SKILLS OUR INSTRUCTOR JOSH HAMLIN USED IN THE WILDERNESS FOR 2 YEARS WITH NO MODERN TOOLS!
