A survival YouTuber was approached for 7 vs. Wild and addresses his viewers in the video, as his opinion is divided.
Who is it about? Johannes is one of the creators of the YouTube channel “Real Life Guys”. The channel primarily features outdoor content, which now revolves very much around the creator himself.
Thus, the channel belongs more in the category of bushcrafters like Survival_Mattin or “7 vs. Wild” founder Fritz Meinecke, who, in addition to mere survival in extreme situations, also build cabins in the woods, grow their own vegetables, and conduct self-experiments.
Now the creator has been approached by 7 vs. Wild for the new sixth season of the survival show and is asking his community for advice.
Knossi has naturally become the face of 7 vs. Wild:
The Fritz Problem
Why is he asking his viewers for help? In a new video, the outdoor YouTuber explains that the production of 7 vs. Wild has invited him to the new season. He emphasizes that this has been a dream for him for several years. However, he did not like the last seasons where Fritz Meinecke was not present as a candidate or was not involved at all.
The thing is, I think a lot of you will agree with me that I didn’t find the last seasons really that great. So, I think it was no longer what it once was. […] I also have to admit that I haven’t watched the last seasons at all, so I actually wanted to decline. But I thought it would be really a shame because I would have loved to be part of the first seasons.

Especially the solo isolation seems to bother the creator. He emphasizes that for him, the format was exciting only because of the solo isolation. Accordingly, the participant already wanted to decline but told the responsible person that he would be willing to participate in a season that would be like the initial one again.

How did the officials react? The officials of 7 vs. Wild explained to the YouTuber that the upcoming season 6 is supposed to be exactly how he wishes it. According to the YouTuber, they have acknowledged the criticism and want to return the format to where it originated.
However, it is still unclear whether this only pertains to the solo isolation or further fundamental changes. Nevertheless, the YouTuber has communicated some of his wishes to the production. These include:
- Solo isolation for a longer time than two days
- 7 items that the participants could choose themselves
- Communication regarding the season
- More participants from the bushcraft and survival sector who can carry out construction projects
At the same time, he encourages viewers to write their own suggestions for the project in the comments, which the creator would like to go through with the makers of 7 vs. Wild in a video.
Whether the sixth season of 7 vs. Wild will really return to the charm of the first season remains questionable. Recently, founder Fritz Meinecke also commented on the show and said a lot of positive things: Fritz Meinecke speaks for the first time since the cancellation about 7 vs. Wild, but one thing he coldly ignores
