Evan Tanner’s Latest Adventure

By: Kris Karkoski (admin) | Aug 19, 2008

Evan TannerFor those who follow UFC veteran Evan Tanner, you know that he leads what some might call an unorthodox lifestyle, complete with random, life-threatening excursions that seem above all else, unnecessary.

Tanner is at it again and this time the former UFC middleweight champion is gearing up for a trip into the vast desert of Southern California:

“The idea going into the desert came to me soon after I moved to Oceanside. It was motivated by my friend Sara’s talk of treasure hunting and lost gold, and my own insatiable appetite for adventure and exploration. I began to imagine what might be found in the deep reaches of the untracked desert. It became an obsession of sorts…

One more week. I think one more week, and I’ll be ready to go.”

I’ve been gathering my gear for this adventure for over a month, not a long time by most standards, but far too long for my impatient nature. Being a minimalist by nature, wanting to carry only the essentials, and being extremely particular, it has been a little difficult to find just the right equipment. I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment, could cost me my life. I’ve been doing a great deal of research and study. I want to know all I can about where I’m going, and I want to make sure I have the best equipment.

Good luck Evan, and be sure to watch out for those man-eating jack rabbits, and that killer cacti.

  3. timcat says:

    Everyone thinks Rampage is crazy. This guy is absolutely off his rocker. Try training dude you just might win again.

  4. dbiz says:

    I wanna see Evan Tanner vs a grizzly bear on a PPV.

  5. yzfoxracing says:

    I THINK EVAN IS DONE…

  6. Cole Miller says:

    I guess all those times he got punched in the face finally caught up with him….

  7. yzfoxracing says:

    ALA COLE WERE YOU BEEN BUDDY

  8. Fr702 says:

    first of great Fu€king pic of Evan, has he gone absolutely CRAZY perhaps but hell, he wants to go to the desert for adventure perhaps thats what his “craziness” i go to Mojave or Death Valley and chase down stories of wild mules and gold… should he train and get back to the Evan Tanner that was sooo great (entertaining) to begin with ya probably, his crazy is going on an adventure with minimal gear… so be it i guess.. best of luck hope he finds what he is searching for…

  9. Dietrich says:

    He needs outward bound to beat his demons…

  10. Cole Miller says:

    I’ve had alot of work lately, so I haven’t been able to get on here as much….

  11. sgtrocknroll says:

    sounds like he knows what he wants. Good for him.
    But I think I’d rather get punched in the face than die in the desert..Just me though..:)

  12. kouch says:

    F SURVIVORMAN! F MAN vs WILD! We have a new nature hero and his name is Evan Tanner. Tanner is f-ing crazy. He is going on a treasure hunt deep in the desert and might lose his life….hmm…I think he is taking he loss worse than Rampage. Nice picture though. It has a nice “Hi, I’m Evan and I like pizza,” straight out of the pysch ward look to it.

  13. Chris says:

    How can you guys make fun of someone for this? He’s going out into the desert to do exactly what we’re all genetically programmed to do… survive. Really survive. I’m not talking about playing world of warcraft in mommy’s basement and going to your crappy office job. Evan is going out to further define himself as a man. You guys could call yourselves lucky to have a quarter of the balls someone like this has.

  14. Wolf says:

    I honestly thought quest love had developed the same skin disease as Micheal Jackson !

    Are you sure that is Evan Tanner ?

  15. Fr702 says:

    ^^^^ nice ¿uest love lol

  16. Cole Miller says:

    pretty sure thats grizzly adams…I bet he goes to live with bears in his next adventure…

  17. mburtoni says:

    He could probably definitely have his own reality show, where he lives by himself out in the wilderness and hunts large game by choking them out with a triangle

  18. rutdog says:

    If more people knew who he is, then VH1 would pick this reality nightmare up in a second.

  19. esopterodactyl says:

    I think he has been caught with one too many knees if he thinks this is a good idea. I hope he comes back with the head of a jackalope in his teeth…GO EVAN!!

  20. animal says:

    10 bucks that he ends up having to drink his own piss! .. wouldn’t be that surprised if he does it already? .. the old beard would smell a bit funky if that is the case though.

    The man is a legend. Best of luck Tanman.

  21. UFC fan says:

    yes i agree even tanner rules!! he will always be my favorite middlewieght!!! EVEN TANNER FAN FOREVER!!

  22. The Rob says:

    I envy him. I would love to be able to up and leave into the wild on a journey. But I am poor, and have a lot of debt i would have to pay before I did that.

    The movie ‘into the wild’ is something that I would love to do. Apparently, Tanner too. Awesome, I respect him. And his awesome beard!

  23. lotta says:

    GOOD LUCK EVAN.
    YOU CAN ALWAYS GET INTO COMMERCIALS AS THE “BURGER KING” GUY.

  24. UFC fan says:
