Sigma 3 Survival School

<P><SPAN><STRONG>*NEW Two Part Summer Instructor Program Option!! </STRONG></SPAN> Take the first phase of the Instructor program (3 weeks) over the summer your first year, and the second phase the following year.</P>
<P><STRONG>PHASE 1:</STRONG></P>
<H3>Location</H3>
<P>All courses will be hosted in our new Missouri Headquarters location. You will stay the whole month in our survival village and sleep in primitive shelters. It's a requirement of graduation that you sleep the whole month primitively. That means no tent camping or sleeping in any type of modern shelter! Bad weather is common and cold wet conditions can be followed by days with heat and humidity so be prepared for all weather types. Our HQ camp includes: Tipis, Army Tent, Large Cabin Classroom, 3d archery range, shooting range, outdoor kitchen, breath taking views, and all types of game like deer, turkey, bear, mountain lions, coyotes, and a plethora of small game.</P>
<H2>2 - SCHEDULE</H2>
<H3>Schedule</H3>
<P>Itinerary will vary according to many different conditions, but you will learn the survival standard program and a ton more than is covered in any course we offer. But be warned, that this is not a course with a heavily regulated schedule. We don't have specific blocks of time alotted for individual skill sets. Our teaching style is to start with the basics and then advance as the students grasp the concepts. Some classes will learn more their other based on their ability to complete the tasks quickly. This course requires mastery of the skills and you will be pushed to succeed. We will teach you everything you need to know to survive comfortably with limited equipment in the harshest of conditions. You will occasionally get a day off to shower, and do things that you need to do in town. At least one day a week will be for nothing but rest and recuperation from the intense training. Except during testing phases! But you should be prepared for your schedule to be erratic and days off will vary highly based on weather, pace of educational tasks, and how quickly you work as a team.</P>

<LI>Week 1: Survival Standard Curriculum</LI>
<LI>Week 2: Advanced Survival Standard Curriculum</LI>
<LI>Week 3: Wild Plants, Advanced Primitive Skills, and Bow Making</LI>
</UL>
<P><STRONG>ATTENTION:</STRONG> During the first two weeks, you will be paired with other standard courses running back to back. Our reason for doing this is that we want to be able to pick out the advanced students that already have a basic understanding of bushcraft and see how they interact with other students that are new to the skills. You will be gauged on how quickly you learn the skills and then move on to help others that are struggling. Remember that you are coming here to become instructors so we will be gauging your ability to relay learned information to others. You will also be expected to maintain a positive mental attitude and good demeanor throughout the course. You cannot pass this program without the strong ability to deal with others and a positive mental attitude at all times. If your a whiner, your assured to not make it!</P>
<H3>Bow making<BR></H3>
<P>We will be making our own custom longbows from scratch and you will need to purchase at least one stave. You can build as many as you like to improve your bow-making skills. Hickory staves are $125. <BR></P>

<H3>Food and water</H3>
<P>You will provide your own food for most of the course. Water will be provided at the property. In some sections of the course, you will live from the land but when learning you will need to provide your own meals, which is about 33 days' worth. We recommend quick ready to eat field type meals for convenience such as our in house camp ready meals.</P>
<UL>
<LI>Local eateries, grocery stores, and other amenities are available locally. You will have plenty of time to procure any items you need.</LI>
<LI>Military MRE’s</LI>
</UL>
<H3>Local groceries and supplies</H3>
<P>Walmart is within a short drive and several other stores as well. So you can get food locally very easily. We prefer you drive a vehicle to class, as vehicles will be needed during certain portions of the course. If your flying in then you can usually team up with other instructor candidates that brought a car to the course, which many usually do. In some portions of the course we will procure our food from the land, but in most sections of the course you will need to provide your own food. The links above are our recommendations for camp food. Please help support Sigma 3 by purchasing your food and equipment through our store instead of other vendors. The funds are used to make the courses better and the school bigger for your benefit!</P>
<H3>Licenses</H3>
<P>During the class we will be doing some fishing and you will be required to purchase an Missouri state fishing license. I would advise you to not get your license until you get here. They can be bought at numerous local stores. And you don’t need the annual license. Average cost $50 or less. Call for more details if you have questions.</P>
<H3>Weapons</H3>
<P>If you have a favorite rifle or concealed carry weapon that you would like to bring. It's welcome at our camp! Licensed concealed carry is allowed and recommended. Missouri is also an open carry/constitutional carry state, so gun laws are very flexible here. And we have a personal shooting range that can be utilized on your off time throughout the course.</P>
<H2>5 - GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS</H2>
<P>You will have to successfully complete all aspects of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 course curriculum and reproduce these skills under harsh conditions. In order to graduate you have to meet the requirements of each section of the course. This class is difficult to pass not because of the demands we put on students but the burden mother nature plays on the course. People who fail do so because they don't have the endurance to muster through tough conditions. Not because they can't learn and complete the tasks. Every class is different in it's graduation rate because each course has such a unique makeup of people. Some classes we have passed 80% of students and other classes have had very high drop out rates. You will pass the course if you muster through and stay determined. Phase 2 is the only section you absolutely can't fail - Scout Survival and SERE! These are Go or No Go phases of the course!</P>
