The first season took place at the end of August 2021. The 16 episodes were published from the beginning of November to the end of December 2021 on the Meinecke's YouTube channel.

Concept

The seven participants with varying degrees of experience in bush crafting, camping and outdoor activities were dropped off into an unspecified lake in Sweden. After swimming to the shore each participant was allowed to move 500 meters in each direction along the lake and as far as they wanted into the mainland. According to the rules they were allowed to take seven items with them, clothing not counted. The clothes, were predetermined by their use (e.g. T-shirt, gloves, headgear, buff, warming layer, socks, shoes).

The aim of the series is to survive in the wild and in complete human isolation. This includes activities such as: searching for food, building or finding a shelter and a place to sleep, passing of prepared tasks (for points) and filming them. Thanks to the location on a lakeshore the water supply and the possibility to fish are guaranteed. All the participants have access to a sealed first aid kit, a sealed mobile phone, a GPS transmitter and the technical equipment for filming.

In the first episode the competition rules, participants and the items chosen in each case were presented. Subsequent episodes showed the participants' recordings, which lasted approximately half a day per episode, with the length of the segments per participant depending on the quantity and quality of the material provided. From the time of elimination the participants are no longer shown at least in the main part of the show, even if they decide to remain on the filming site.

The participants are obliged to daily confirm their well-being by pressing the dead man's switch. Should they fail to do it, they are eliminated and picked up. In addition, the participants have to open a sealed envelope containing a daily challenge. Participation in these tasks is voluntary, but points can be earned by participating, which plays a role in determining the overall winner.

The use of the cell phone carried for emergencies only, will result in direct elimination of the participant, and the use of materials from the first aid kit will be sanctioned with point deductions.

The winner is the participant who stays in the game the longest. If more than one participant remains in the game until the end, the winner is the one who achieves the highest score in the challenges. They will be awarded a 10,000 euro prize, which is donated to a charity organization of their choice.

Winner

With 42 points, Fritz Meinecke was the winner of the first season. The prize of 10,000 euros was donated to Robert Marc Lehmann's project Mission Erde. Chris and Mattin shared the second place due to the same score. The following places were determined by the date of elimination.

Reception

The aired episodes have an average of over four million views. The Stuttgarter Nachrichten announced the start of the series.

After the series' launch, the youth radio program of the SWR (the Southwest Broadcasting is a regional public broadcasting cooperation serving the southwest of Germany) DASDING wrote: "The survival format '7 vs. Wild' is going through the roof on YouTube right now." Web video producer MontanaBlack stated that, "it's one of the most hyped formats ever on YouTube." The news portal Watson (a Swiss news portal) called the series "brilliant".

The episodes also received attention due to "live reactions" from popular streamers such as Simon Unge, Jens Knossalla and Rezo. Additionally, some of the participants responded to the episodes by providing additional background information, such as from Fritz Meinecke.

Season 3 took place in August/September 2023 in the Canadian province of British Columbia on Hope and Nigei Island (50°55′N 127°51′W / 50.91°N 127.85°W / 50.91; -127.85 (Hope Island and Nigei Island)).

In the preparation and announcement phase of the season, the management nominated presenters Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, among others, who declined to take part.

The season was released between 31 October and 22 December 2023 on Amazon (Amazon Prime Video and ad-financed Amazon Freevee) and four weeks later on YouTube. An additional 17th bonus episode (Joey alone in the forest) was released on 24 January 2024.

The fourth season was planned for fall/winter 2024. However, the realisation and filming had already been completed at the time of the announcement. Despite the secrecy, there was speculation about filming and participants for a new season at the beginning of May, as several potential participants signed off for three weeks at exactly the same time. The participants were announced on August 27, 2024; inquiries as to whether they would accept participation were obsolete at this point, which caused some confusion. The exact location on site was found by fans of the series using the elevation profile and a few pictures within about an hour. Preparation work began in November 2023 and filming of the season took place in May 2024.

The season will be/was released between 1 October and 22 November 2024 on Amazon (Amazon Prime Video and ad-financed Amazon Freevee) and two weeks later on YouTube.

Participants

After a briefing in Frankfurt, the participants traveled to Christchurch via Singapore on scheduled flights. From there they continued with a chartered Cessna 208 Caravan to Wanaka. The last 30 km to the drop-off point were flown in three Airbus Helicopters H125, with the participants blinded with goggles. The journey was non-stop without overnight stays, the time zone difference is 10 hours (CEST UTC+0200 NZT UTC+1200), the participants were dropped off in the afternoon when they were overtired.

The game

For the first time, the participants did not know where (continent, country) and how (singles, doubles, group) they would be exposed. They only found out the country from Singapore onwards. They learned the local conditions and the game mode directly at the drop-off point. With temperatures well below zero at night and sometimes only slightly above zero during the day, this season was climatically more challenging than the previous seasons.

There were numerous useful items on the plane, such as sleeping bags and flares. There were also cigarettes lying around, but the smokers overlooked them (The cigarettes were in a box of blister plasters). There were also 6 suitcases scattered around the site, which could be found either by chance or by scattered clues ("radio messages" on compact cassettes in the letterbox). These contained other useful items, such as saws, toothbrushes, knives, dog food, peanuts and chocolate, as well as less useful items intended for improvisation.

The exchange point for memory cards, technology and information about the location of the cases on compact cassettes was a mounted letterbox. Each participant was required to carry a medipack (which no one did) and a GPS tracker, and there was also a satellite phone for emergencies.

Locations of Season 4

The relay was carried out on the South Island of New Zealand and filmed near Wanaka. The release took place in late autumn (southern hemisphere) between 10 and 25 May 2024 for the first time as a group. It was modelled on the crash of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, with an aircraft wreck of a Dornier Do 28A-1 serving as the backdrop.
