While a participant in the YouTube series 7 vs. Wild struggles to start a fire, it is precisely Twitch streamer and survival novice Knossi who almost sets the jungle on fire.
Which candidates are involved in the scene? Joris has an indirect involvement in the scene. He is a hobby biologist and the wildcard participant of the Panama edition. Joris has been struggling to start a fire since day 1 of season 2 of 7 vs. Wild.
In the early episodes of the season, Joris declared starting a fire as his main goal. An undertaking in which he would repeatedly fail and that affected his mental state on the tropical island.
On the other hand, there is Twitch streamer and survival novice Jens “Knossi” Knossalla, who successfully ignited a small fire on the beach in episode 3. In episode 6, the entertainer raises the stakes and spontaneously sets a palm tree on fire.
Who is Knossi? Knossi is a 36-year-old entertainer who has a total of 2.1 million followers on Twitch. In the meantime, Knossi was the biggest streamer in the world and still remains one of the 5 largest German streamers on Twitch.
Knossi sets a palm tree on fire in the jungle of Panama
How does Knossi almost set the jungle on fire? When Knossi wakes up on the morning of the third day, he is eager to light a cigarette. After all, he didn’t have time for it the day before, and then the rain got in the way, which was set to return on the third day of the adventure.
In the wake of the drizzling storm, the 36-year-old retreated to his “shelter” – a series of palm trees whose leaves protect him from the pouring rain.
While standing under the palm trees, Knossi has a thought: “With a lighter, it wouldn’t be a problem, then I could smoke here.” Then the entertainer pauses, he has a dangerous idea: “Can I start a fire at the tree?”
Shortly afterwards, Knossi grabs his fire steel, prepares the dry bark hanging from the palm trunk into a nest of tinder, and ignites it. An action that the team of 7 vs. Wild describes in an overlay as reckless (via YouTube).
“What Knossi is doing here is reckless and should not be a role model. Fire must always be controlled. Please do not simply set trees on fire! Knossi is highly addicted to nicotine. Do yourselves and your surroundings a favor and do not start smoking.”
Here we embed episode 6 of season 2 of 7 vs. Wild. The scene in question starts around 1:20:41:
