All participants are fixed and that’s them

The successful YouTube format “7 vs Wild” is entering the next round. We inform you about the location, innovations and all participants of the third season of 7 vs Wild.

What is 7 vs Wild? 7 vs Wild is a survival show by YouTuber Fritz Meinecke that has been broadcast on YouTube since 2021. In the first two seasons, 7 participants each had to endure 7 days alone in the wilderness.

A few changes have been made for Season 3, including the addition of 7 pairs instead of 7 individuals. The show should also no longer run on Fritz Meinecke’s YouTube channel.

These are the contestants of Season 3 of 7 vs Wild:

  • Fritz Meinecke and “Survival Mattin”
  • Producer Fritz Meinecke is at the start for the third time and has Survival Mattin on his team. The outdoor YouTuber Survival Mattin was already part of the first season.
  • The “sons of nature” Andreas Schulze and Gerrit Rösel
  • Andy and Gerrit share their passion for the wild on YouTube. Born in Berlin, they love nature and (surviving) life in the forest (via steady).
  • Jens “Knossi” Knossalla and Sascha Huber
  • Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and Dominik “Reeze” Reezmann
  • Max “Trymacs” Stemmler and Wieland “Rumathra” Welte
  • Joey Kelly and Andreas Kieling
  • Joseph “Joey” Kelly is a musician, best known as a member of the pop and folk band The Kelly Family. In his youth he started training in kickboxing. After that he took part in various sporting competitions. Andreas Kieling is a documentary filmmaker with a focus on nature, animal and adventure themes.
  • Hannah Assil and Ann-Kathrin “Monkey on Bike” Bendixen
  • Hannah Assil describes herself on her website as a “nature mediator with body and soul”. She has completed training as a national park ranger and as a mountain hiking guide in Tyrol. She also acted in theater for almost 20 years and lived in Budapest for 10 years. Ann-Kathrin Bendixen writes on her website that she has been on a motorcycle tour for 2 years. Her name “Monkey on Bike” came from experiences of bullying at school – there she was called Dumbo and Monkey because of her protruding ears. “According to the motto “In your Face Haters”, says Ann-Kathrin.
  • Twitch fame MontanaBlack was also asked, but declined because he “didn’t have the balls for it”.

    Information on the start and location of 7 vs Wild

    When does 7 vs Wild season 3 begin? The third season of the survival show is scheduled to run on YouTube in November or December 2023 (via Rheinische Post). There will then be a YouTube channel for this, which will be created especially for the format.

    Where is 7 vs Wild filmed? In a YouTube video in April, Fritz Meinecke explained the new team-based format of the survival show and revealed the new location for the upcoming show: Canada.

    While Season 1 was filmed in Sweden and Season 2 in Panama, Season 3 contestants of 7 vs Wild head to British Columbia, Canada, which borders Alaska.

    These are the changes for Season 3:

  • There will be no more “games”, the focus is on survival
  • All participants receive the same sleeping bag and a drinking bottle, which they can fill as they wish – with knives or flints too
  • The participants now compete against each other in 7 groups of two, which they determine themselves
  • The third season will last 14 days, twice as long as the previous seasons
  • Who is behind 7 vs Wild?

    Fritz Meinecke is a German web video producer from Magdeburg. Over 2.7 million people follow his survival and bushcraft adventures on YouTube. In 2022, Meinecke was often criticized.

    How did Fritz Meinecke come under criticism? The producer of the survival show 7 vs Wild made sexist comments to a woman during a bike tour in Hungary and used her face for a thumbnail of one of his videos.

    He received criticism for his statement and the use of the photo.

    However, he was apparently annoyed by this criticism and commented on the “softened do-gooders” on Instagram. When asked why he was “always so toxic”, he responded with a sweeping attack on everything and everyone.

    When asked in an Instagram story, he wrote that he is often extremely reticent because if he really said what he was thinking, he would be banned everywhere. The word “shitstorm” would “reach a new level.”

    “This completely effeminate, do-gooder society gets on my nerves. […] Always politically correct,” says Fritz Meinecke.
