Currently airing on YouTube is the survival show “Nerd in the Dirt” by Twitch streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler. Together with other survival beginners, he traveled to icy Finland to face challenges. One of these tasks involved reindeer droppings and was so nasty that Trymacs himself can hardly bear to watch.
What kind of show is this? After Trymacs failed to participate in the popular survival show 7 vs. Wild, the streamer quickly set up his own format: For Nerd in the Dirt, he traversed Finland with his brother and streamers MckyTV and Chefstrobel.
They were led by former soldier Otto “Bulletproof” Karasch, who won the 2nd season of 7 vs. Wild and brings plenty of survival experience.
Convenient for Trymacs: On Twitch, he reacts to the episodes of his own series, providing content for his streams. Nevertheless, the streamer probably earns hardly anything, if at all, from his elaborate events, and in the worst case, he might even lose money.
Nasty challenge pushes Trymacs to his limits
What was that challenge about? According to Trymacs, the challenge was a “spontaneous challenge” that Otto Karasch used to surprise the survival beginners. To this day, he is not entirely sure whether he was just making a joke.
Karasch made the participants collect the droppings of a reindeer and then eat them. As Trymacs watches himself and the others digging through the snow for the droppings, he can hardly believe what he is seeing.
When it came time to eat, Trymacs initially held up quite well. It was only when he tried to swallow the droppings that he failed. His buddy Chefstrobel did not hold back: He sucked and chewed on it for ages, he is a real legend, according to Trymacs.
The streamer could not let that sit, as he made another attempt, and this one succeeded. Trymacs can hardly watch himself. Disgusted, he comments: “I feel sick seeing this.”

Before his trip to Finland, when Trymacs still did not know that he would soon taste reindeer droppings, he had other worries: Who would take care of his accounts in the mobile game Clash of Clans? But Trymacs had a solution and quickly enlisted his girlfriend:
