Stand:
After a week of survival, the group reaches its limits in 7 vs. Wild. This is also due to strenuous hikes - which are actually hardly worth it.
Good atmosphere, constant fire and a place to sleep: the remaining participants are missing a lot of thingsnot. After around seven days without food, every movement represents a huge effort for the group. The only motivation for a kilometer-long march is the prospect of food. Just like when searching for a suitcase for radio message No. 4 from. But like last time, there was sobering instead of calories.
7 vs. Wild attracts participants with the contents of their suitcases from their (strength) reserves
All effort for nothing?Each new cassette with location descriptions gives the group hope that their hunger will end. No other request for content is expressed by the participants as often as something to eat. However, the yield so far for almost six kilometers there and back is always poor with peanuts, chocolate and dog food. Especially since the manageable provisions are divided among several people. It could also have been due to the lack of food intakenothing changed. Here is an overview of the previous cases:
| Suitcase | Contents | Running distance |
| Women's suitcase | Toothbrush, toothpaste, matches, knife, peanuts | 700 Meter |
| Tool case | String, saw, fishing line, tape, fire steel | 600 Meter |
| Surprise backpack | Stool, slingshot, dog food, goggles, ashtray, camo makeup | 900 Meter |
| Hawaii Suitcase | Neck pillow, red wine, chocolate, ukulele, plate, shirt | 900 Meter |
Is it worth the effort?Every suitcase search costs the participants even more of what they hardly have anymore: energy. Despite the bright smile and steely body, this wasnoticeable on his last tour. It is clear that the calorie consumption has not yet been offset by the contents of the suitcase. However, the group also received essential items such as knives, saws and fire steel for their efforts. Overall, the relationship between wages and effort should still be correct.
Was that it with the suitcase search?However, things get exciting with the next radio message. It is possible that the participants will consider whether to ignore outside help due to the recent lack of results. Despite the enormous effort, Flying Uwe once again emphasized the importance of a task in episode 9. For him, the hikes are linked to a clear goal that motivates and keeps him busy. This fact alone could ensure that not a single suitcase remains unopened.
Searching for a suitcase leaves fans of 7 vs. Wild shaking their heads
This is what viewers say:Of course, from the outside, as a viewer, it's easy to talk. This also applies to us. When hunger sets in after more than a week, many people probably don't consider the prospect of food. Nevertheless, it's upRedditA clear verdict has been made in the 7 vs. Wild community.The comments are accordingly:
- “Suitcase challenge is great, but the risk is disproportionate to the content.”– in/Gleis7
- “The route was really strenuous and then there was just so much rubbish in there... I would feel really ripped off. It’s hardly worth destroying your body any further because of it..”– u/Short_Ground4377
- "I have to say I also think it's a bit negligent of the organization to make the suitcases more and more difficult to reach, because they should be aware that the energy is decreasing more and more..."– u/Mariechen95
- “But it just feels disrespectful to the participants. They have now managed 7 days with almost no food and are getting a ukulele as a 'reward'."– u/Crankmanwhoiscooking
However, it is also important to note that the suitcases are not intended to make things as easy as possible for the participants. Rather, they are intended to function as a kind of option that is jointly weighed up in terms of risk and return. Just like they did with Survival Germany's suggestions.
