Two episodes for the upcoming season of the reality television series, “Fat Guys in the Woods,” was filmed in Kentucky; more specifically in the Red River Gorge and eastern Kentucky cave country areas.
“Fat Guys in the Woods” airs on The Weather Channel and will begin its second season on June 7.
Host of the show is Creek Stewart, a survival trainer by trade for almost 20 years, who is originally from Indiana.
Stewart was contacted by Evan Goldsteen, the show’s producer, a couple of years ago about the idea for the reality series.
“I’m a long-time believer that the wilderness can change people. I grew up in scouting. When he talked to me about the idea of the positive nature of the show, I was on board from the beginning,” Stewart said.
Participants for the show are found through a casting process.
“There is a group of people behind the scenes who seek out individuals who are all in agreement that they are at a place in their life were they’ve kind of let themselves go a little bit and they need a kick in their pants,” Stewart said.
The second season of the show consists of eight episodes that were filmed in the following locations: Drummond Island, Mich.; Mendoza Canyon, Ariz.; Sonoran Desert, Ariz.; Wewahitchka, Fla., Dead Lakes, Fla., Red River Gorge, Ky. And one episode that was filmed in eastern Kentucky’s cave country.
“We were not far from Natural Bridge with one of our episodes,” Stewart said.
Each participant in the show has a different story, and Stewart said he has seen a lot of “really terrific transformation” in some of the show’s participants.
He continued to say it is an experience that brings about perspective.
“It makes people think twice about their habits when they get back home,” Stewart said.
The episode filmed in eastern Kentucky’s cave country airs July 19 at 8 p.m. on The Weather Channel.
