Azze, the bush pirate

Throughout the world and especially in the German YouTube scene, bushcraft and outdoor videos are becoming more and more popular. In recent years, numerous channels have formed around this genre, which, due to the initially very low competition, were able to increase their popularity relatively quickly and strongly. One of these channels is “Azze, der Buschpirat” (Azze, the bush pirate), which was able to build up and expand its reach mainly through the cooperation with “Fritz Meinecke” and other channels from the scene.

Generally speaking, the channel ” Azze, der Buschpirat” is a German adventure and outdoor channel. His videos also accumulate exclusively in this gerne, through which he managed to increase his notoriety. Despite his already high profile, few private details are known about the channel’s operator and protagonist.

For example, his civil name as well as his exact date of birth and thus his exact age are unknown so far. Only his nickname, Azze, as he is called by his friends and colleagues in his videos and which also appears in his channel name, is publicly known so far. Furthermore, his age can only be roughly estimated to be in his early to mid-30s, based on his experience and appearance. However, this can also be deceptive.

Azze founded his channel on March 04, 2016. However, as of today, his first video on this channel was released on September 11, 2016 and was titled: “Videos about Bushcraft, Hiking, Nature, Gear, Adventure and more”. This video represented a 30-second video that already showed some footage and gave glimpses of the upcoming videos. For this reason, this video can be classified as a channel trailer of sorts for the videos to come.

Following this video, mainly the content he announced in his channel trailer and already his name appeared. With his videos he already filled a genre at that time, which had only little competition and therefore brought a lot of potential with it. Nevertheless, despite the very low competition in the beginning, Azze could only sporadically increase his own popularity. Only through the cooperation with other channels from this genre, which already had a relatively high reach, he managed to increase his own awareness.

If you take a look at the channel “Azze, the bush pirate” today, you will see that it is actively run after the fact. New videos of the adventures of and with Azze continue to appear on the channel almost weekly. In the meantime, he has also managed to attract well over 46,000 subscribers, with the trend rising sharply due to the popularity of the topic.
