something with my slingshot. You gave me so much crap about that. - Okay, I'll tell you what. You make it $750, you got a deal. Sure. - Seven hundred and fitty dollas. That's what makes me holla. - You're on. All right.

- Let's do it. - All right, well then we'll shake hands. I don't like that--

- All right. - I bet you don't wash

'em, but I appreciate it. - Well, we all know you don't like to use toilet paper out here.

- Shh, shh, shh, shh. - Oh man... I'm-I'm getting the camera out. - Look. Just come on. One-one second. Oh my gosh. I just don't, I can't believe this. New Jersey's great. Wow. Um, ex Uh, sorry to bother you or

interrupt or whatever it is that you're doing. Um, we were just passing through, and couldn't help but notice... Whatever it is you're doing. We-we host a

nature survival show. I'm-I'm-I'm Hank, and

this is, this is Dallas. Um, and we are, uh, surviving in the woods for 21 days in the Pine Barrens. And uh, uh, w-why are you asking me, what are you, pardon the intrusion, but what are you guys doing here? - We're performing a ritual. Are you Wiccan? - I suppose you'd call us

that in some sense, yeah. And why are you naked? - The most important rituals

should be performed skyclad. - Uh--

- Can I talk to you for a second? Ex-excuse me one second. - Hank. No, we can't film this. - Oh, we can't not film them.

- We can't-we can't film them. - We cannot not film them. This is, this would never-- With a camera.

- This would never fly past the censors, this is the Home and Garden Network.

- Oh that's-that's fair. Well, you know--

- You can't do it. The editors may

be blurring it on the show, and that's fine, but they'll

never blur my memories. - This is a nature show. The, yeah, the, this is as nature as it gets, my man. Just, just trust me this

one time, all right? I say that every time I get to see you. Okay, um, I know you uh, would rather not state

your name, and that's fine. Um, so, uh, just uh, tell

us a little bit about, um, yourself, what you're doing here? - Well, what you came upon was uh, an ancient Etruscan ritual. We perform sometimes to become impregnated by the spirit of the air. Does your, does

your family practice this? Like, did you grow up with this? And it kinda became

your belief system or-- - This is my family. This is my home. Those are my sisters. This is where I live. This is where my heart is. Okay, and uh, are

you currently seeing anyone? - Only the spirit. - It's so much easier to

connect with the spirits and the essences of the

world around us when we're not surrounded by TV and radios and-and televisions and

computers and microwaves. How do you feel

about the fact that people call this the witch's woods? Do you feel like maybe that

has something to do with you and your, and your coven? The people of your ilk that come here? - I-I mean this, these

woods have always been associated with people

who share our practices. So, I suppose that would

be part of it, yes. - You cannot take the left-hand path. It is dangerous. We have a camera

with us though, all right? - You will be hurt. - We won't--

- You will be hurt. This land belongs to Franny

Kalikak and her followers. This is not your place. You need to go. So I noticed

that these women kInd of glom to you a bit. Are you like their leader or something? - I prefer to think of myself

as a teacher, or guide. Do you have any

advice for anybody who's, who's coming to these woods? They seem very special to you. Do you have any advice, uh, for them if they want to

commune with nature here, like you are? - Go home. Is that in general, or toward me? - Go somewhere else. I mean, you ladies

have all expressed to us consistently that this is a

loving and beautiful place. But now you're telling me to leave? - Love may be severe. Okay, well, thank

you girls very, very much. And uh, maybe we'll see you

on the way out, all right? Blessed be. - Ex-exactly, thank you. That was so good! Oh my God! Beautiful day for this. - It's not bad. - I-I was, uh, mostly

being facetious because the clouds look like dog doo. Uh, that is... This is the most

inhospitable-looking environment. I don't think it's the

worst we've ever had. - It's not the worst we've had. - No, no, not by a long shot, but it's, uh, pretty chilly. - No, this is colder than I expected. - October, I think they

were predicting around 50 is the low. I think we might be right at that already.

- Well, yeah. I think we've hit it. - So um... I don't want to leave an

elephant in the woods. But uh, did you know

that woman back there? - Yeah, the... The one, the one of them, you

seemed really familiar with. - No, no, no, I didn't know her. No, it was the first time we met. - So I guess, due to... The weather kind of being a little rough, and the fact that I don't know how much daylight we're really gonna have, I guess we should start

looking for suitable campsites. - Yeah, uh... Uh, it's not clear enough over here. I think we need to go a bit further before we find a suitable spot. I mean, it should open up a little bit. At least, I'm hoping that. - I'm hoping lots of things. - First of all, uh, you

want to get some protection from the elements. So, make sure you pick a camping spot that's under some trees

or next to some boulders, just to get some protection from the, from the rain and the wind. Uh, it's also important though, remember that, uh, not to

camp under some dead trees-- - Yeah.

- In the event of a windstorm. - We had a branch fall on us once in Peru. Uh huh. I remember that.

- And he doesn't like to talk about that, 'cause

he picked that campsite. - I did. I am very, very guilty of that. - That's the first time he

admitted it, it's on camera. Well, everything's on camera so-- Everything's on camera. - So--

- Uh-- - Go on, yeah, so... - You want to also--

- You want underbrush, but you want the tree to be alive. - You want the tree to be alive. Uh, also, you want to

camp near water obviously, uh, to maintain a good water source. Just make sure you purify it. Uh, also, uh, make sure you're

at least 200 feet away though uh, because of flooding. - Again, Peru.

- If it rains-- Yeah, why do you have to keep bringing that up? - Peru was miserable! - I know it was miserable. You don't have to keep

bringing it up though. - The hotel after was miserable! It was all bad! Sorry, bru. Sorry. Hey, you know what? I just realized something. - We should do something like, how about this time, you be

the young, supple Alec Baldwin and I'll be, uh, the

manly Anthony Hopkins? - Uh, I don't think this is like The Edge. I think surviving in the wilderness is, is a little different than that. "I've gotta kill the motherf***er!" - See... You know I I

could have been doing a show, I could have been on Naked

and Afraid with some chick, and instead, they stuck

me with this idiot. - Naked and Afraid people don't

get paid SAG-minimum scale. Oh, but really, we'll get naked

later, don't worry about it. I got you. - Don't, before you head
