Success Stories & Results

“Robert, as an instructor you have the unique ability to communicate difficult lessons and have them easily understood. As a teacher myself, I certainly can appreciate this ability. Your systematic approach and easy-going personality made the challenging exercises manageable while permitting for an unforgettable experience. Additionally, the contributions of your staff throughout the event made even the smallest amount of downtime between sessions fascinating. Though several weeks have passed since the Survival Standard course, I still find myself reflecting on that time and continue to build upon the foundations that you and your insightful team provided. I enjoyed training with you all, and I look forward to having more memories with Sigma III.”

Jeff Jenkins.

“What a great class this was! I have taken classes from great instructors like Joel Hardin, Tom Brown, Kevin Reeve, and many more! I have taken several classes with Kelly Alwood before and I have to say Robert, you are bringing the best of the best to Fort Smith in survival, tactical, medical, and tracking. Great class that was well done, safe and inexpensive. I will be taking more classes with SIGMA 3 Survival School!”

Adam C.

“Just got back from my weekend trip to Sigma 3 Survival School and I have to tell you it was a blast. My knowledge of survival before the class consisted of what I had seen on TV. I was a little worried that I would be miserable or starve due to the training conditions. Little did I know, Robert is an expert on making survival training an enjoyable experience. In just one weekend I learned how to make a shelter equipped with “survival memory foam” (leaves), a primitive fire with a bow, and some trapping and fishing techniques (both primitive and with a few modern devices). One of my favorite Robert Allen quotes was, “I don’t see how ‘Survivor man’ eats so little…..we have caught a ton of food in less than 2 hours”. The first night we dined on snake, fish, and some mint tea (along with some city food I brought just in case). During the day we grazed on wild edibles….some of which tasted pretty good. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to increase their knowledge on survival techniques. Robert has the ability to educate those that are already advanced naturalist and dumb it down for guys like myself. Either way you will leave with a good understanding of how to survive comfortably in the woods. I think Robert said it best, “I don’t really teach people to survive in the woods; I teach them to live in the woods.”
