Streamer Zarbex wants to host even more IRL streams on Twitch in the future. For that, he needs good equipment, for which he has probably already spent 30,000 euros.
What exactly did Zarbex spend 30,000 euros on? In a past Twitch stream with MontanaBlack, Zarbex reported that he bought an expensive backpack for around 30,000 euros. This backpack contains expensive and high-quality equipment designed to enhance his IRL streams.
He classifies this high expenditure as business expense
and adds: I will now take a really fat chunk of money in hand […] and I will try it again, and if it still doesn’t work properly, I will give up and just sit with my fat ass in my room and then I will screw IRL streams

Zarbex frequently hangs out with streamer MontanaBlack:
30,000 euros do not compensate for internet lack
What does Zarbex forget?
Unfortunately, the 30,000-euro backpack could not secure a successful first practical test. A few days ago, Zarbex wanted to host an IRL stream from a medieval market. However, this stream spontaneously fell through because even the expensive backpack could not compensate for the lack of internet.
At the desired streaming location, there was simply not enough reception to transmit a Twitch stream. Zarbex said in his stream to MontanaBlack: It really broke me that I bought this fat backpack, which IShowSpeed and so on has, and even he couldn’t carry it

What kind of backpack is this? The expensive backpack is by no means a hidden gem for streamers, as large IRL content creators – like the IShowSpeed mentioned by Zarbex – already use it for their streams. This is the TVU backpack, which is equipped with a very high-quality camera and a live streaming encoder, and is also used by reporters for live broadcasts.
These live streaming encoders aggregate the mobile network from multiple internet providers simultaneously through several SIM cards, providing a stable internet connection. Therefore, it is an essential equipment that Twitch streamers especially need outdoors.
Zarbex was one of the largest newcomers on Twitch in 2024, during that time he focused mainly on gaming and chatting with his chat. The rapidly increasing viewer numbers in the months following were not always positive for him: “Definitely affected my mood” – A German streamer has nearly tenfolded his viewers on Twitch, reports how tough it was
