Mission

BEST PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES IN FRONTIER LOGISTICS

Blue teams utilize a set of best principles and practices and frontline and backline decisions and approaches to tackling travel and transportation problems and endemic and monstrous challenges of the world’s last frontiers.

Our teams and ground handling crews, the best contractors of the crop, have inalienable and deeply-grown experience in the places they operate, and cultivate and control their contacts and knowledge of their home environments to use for clients, with security supreme and logistics logical.

Travel as vacation is a snap for blue teams. Travel as vocation is a wrap. – We generally treat frontier travel as a complex set of safety-first, exploration-focused practical procedures for assessing paths and means to bring a client forward and further in a challenging terrain, and deliver his personnel or payload to an otherwise inaccessible or extremely-daunting destination, with safety and respect for rules and staff as best practices.

RESOURCE POOL FOR CHALLENGES

We have partnering ground teams ready to deploy on a dime in most frontier and least-developed and difficult destinations on earth. Air, land, and sea.

We have experience recovering very difficult cargos from inextricable circumstances: Like fallen aircraft in remote wilderness…all the way to deploying and distributing medical field equipment to far-flung outposts of exploration and research.

ONGOING TRAINING AND COORDINATION

Blue Tours conducts biannual examination of practices and priorities, and risk minimizing and risk management plans.

SPECIAL OPS UNITS AND GEAR

Blue teams can assign and brief special forces from our ground crews for complex or specific missions or needs in the field, and equip or prescribe to clients and ground handlers sophisticated gear from satellite communication solutions to deep wilderness survival and sufficiency kit, to power solutions for self-sufficient electricity or fuel in the frontier.

Blue quartermasters can make supply lists for certain missions and informed recommendations on appropriate gear and personnel.

Blue guides and suppliers can set up expeditions of exploratory nature for collecting or gathering specific data and supporting such equipment, to filmography from aircraft or the ground.

Blue pilots, suppliers at various airports around the world, contract and fly amazing aerial missions and trips for our clients in locations around the world, from fly-by photography of boat crossings of Cape Horn, to helocasts with ex-navy SEALs, to archeological aerial surveys of ancient temples.
