“I had a great time. The instructors were all top notch, and very professional. I learned so much! I highly recommend Sigma 3.”

Cody SmithSouth Carolina

“As someone with a lot of experience in the woods, it was the little things that I picked up on and questions I was able to ask and get help on that furthered my knowledge that I wasnt able to get from a book or video. It opened my eyes to questions I didn’t know that I had. If you could only do one week of courses then this one would be it! It gives you so much knowledge on what to look for and you will feel confident after leaving that you can survive in most survival situations in comfort. Knowledge weighs nothing and SIGMA 3 will teach the primitive and the most effective modern skills.”
