    Boy Scout Camp makes PietSmiet the most watched German Twitch channel

    What was that event? The guys from PietSmiet spent a whole weekend at the Vulkaneifel nature experience farm. Hard-hitting survival action à la 7 vs. Wild was looked for in vain here, instead “glamping” was on the program, i.e. glamorous camping, including a bed and separate toilet.

    Was there a program? Yes, there was. But PietSmiet didn’t know about it in advance. Over the course of the weekend, they had to face challenges such as making fires, building shelters, carving and archery. Some of the boys were able to draw on their Boy Scout experience.

    There were points for the challenges that could be exchanged for rewards. The loser of a challenge had to endure punishment such as wearing an oven mitt while eating.

    Where can you watch the event? You can see how it all went in full on PietSmiet’s Twitch channel. The event will also be uploaded uncut in several parts on their website and the main channel on YouTube. In addition, selected highlights are to be published on the Best-of channel.
