In a Q&A, Fritz Meinecke (34) shared insights and revealed new information about 7 vs. Wild. The founder of the survival series also disclosed details about the costs of the season and the reaction to his accounting with the production.
Why is he revealing this information? In a stream, the 7 vs. Wild
founder Fritz Meinecke was asked by viewers after a “Q&A” session. The survival YouTuber took the opportunity to answer questions about the production and 7 vs. Wild itself.
Fritz Meinecke is known for frequently sharing his opinions, even if he doesn’t always receive positive reactions. Recently, Fritz Meinecke accounted with the production.
How expensive was the 3rd season of 7 vs. Wild? According to Fritz Meinecke, the costs for the 3rd season of 7 vs. Wild were in the seven-figure range, so at least one million euros. Not a surprising figure, considering that 14 participants and the production team were in Canada for about 3 weeks. On-site, the production camp had to be built, as revealed by a “behind-the-scenes” video.
The participants reportedly received no fee, as most of them would be millionaires. He often participates in formats for which he does not receive any money.
One of the participants in the 3rd season is the Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video.
The Fritz Meinecke accounting caused trouble with the production
What was the reaction? Besides Fritz Meinecke, there are two other founders of 7 vs. Wild, Max Kovacs and Johannes Hovekamp. The two are editors and work among other things for Fritz Meinecke and SurvivalMattin. They also manage Fritz Meinecke’s live channel, where the accounting with the production was uploaded.
In advance, the two allegedly said, according to Fritz Meinecke, that they would, of course, upload the accounting, but one should expect that this would have consequences. According to Fritz Meinecke, it turned out that way. There were discussions and stress with the production after the airing on YouTube.
The 7 vs. Wild
founder thinks that’s a good thing because he allegedly wants to be honest with his viewers. If he notices that important information is missing, he feels it’s worth clarifying, even if it leads to stress afterward.
What happened with the viewers? Some time ago, participant Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller (26) revealed in a stream excerpt that the participants were reportedly not safe. This was because, due to leaks, the shooting location of season 3 of 7 vs. Wild became known to viewers early. Viewers who were in Canada at the time allegedly made their way to gather information. As an example, he mentioned an alleged Reddit post that reported on day 2 of shooting about rescue boats and good weather on-site.
Fritz Meinecke addressed this in his “Q&A” format and admitted that viewers made it their mission to gather information about the production. According to him, the attempts failed.
The viewers of 7 vs. Wild on Reddit are very active. Recently, they supposedly discovered that a team was supposedly dropped not far from a hotel resort.
