You don't get very far in preparations for desert hiking / excursions without reading ballpark figures of 1-2 gallons of water per person per day- over, and over and over. You read that after reading "it's really fu@king hot !!" BTW the headline is curious if it came from the police if only misinformation, because "heat exhaustion" doesn't kill you... it leads up to 'heat stroke' that does.

If there was fuel in it yet he was walking, maybe in the intense heat the bike itself overheated? Doesn’t it seem likely that maybe something was wrong with the bike?

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:41:11 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=6405#comment-49182 so his bike didn't run out of fuel? whoa.. that's weird.. i must say.. because, it seems as though he could've just ridden out.. I'm sure his death was NOT intentional.. although the loss to Kendall may have been devistating and may have added problems to the ones already existent, his manager said he was in a good place in his head.. i watched a recent interview with Tanner last night.. and he was talking about how he used to surf, but since he moved to Vegas he couldn't really do that any more.. He said since there was no ocean or beach, he -loved- riding his bike in the dessert.. you have no idea how weird/sad it was to watch that video.. i bet he had no idea that something he -loved- would be the death of him.. RIP.. so his bike didn’t run out of fuel? whoa..

From what has been reported it all seems very strange. If his bike had gas, why was he walking? Why would he be wearing black in the desert? I dunno, maybe the bike wasn't running because of another reason.

Id like to think he found whatever it is he was looking for, hopefully he found that better place. Evan the world seems a lesser place without you i dont know, as much as im saddened by his death i can’t help but think this was intentional, i think he went out there to find himself or die.

Having camped in the desert, the one thing you bring enough of is water. When you start to run low, you bug out fast. I question his judgement of going out on a bike which limited the amount of supplies he could bring but I don't think it was overtly intentional - just a sad tragedy. It’s depressing.
