wild camping on the Dragon's Back in the Hilleberg Soulo tent
In this video I head to the Iconic Chrome Hill (AKA the Dragon's Back). I fabulous location for a wild camp....one of the Peak Districts lesser visited gems.
Thanks Paul, great video with plenty to think about. As an (unexpectedly) single guy in his 50's with a military back ground, you've genuinely helped to inspire me to get back to the outdoors and give myself something to look forward to. All the best Buddy, keep going. Dave
Hey, I know this was a year ago but I just came across this and wanted to say I hope you're doing okay man!
Yeah, me too. You’re not alone brother
We have been walkers with our daughters since they were two, they are now 11 & 12, we cover on average 9-11 miles each walk. This just adds another element, so thank you. Also gives us a chance to camp instead of taking the caravan.
there's something magical about that place.
It's gorgeous
Hey Paul. If you are using those straight pegs you can take the rubber stopper from your trekking poles put it over the top and use it to help push the pegs in. It might save your hands a little. Also it saves you from pushing them in with your boot one might go through your boot. 👍😎🇨🇦
Tentmeals are my favourite of all the dehydrated meals.
God there's so much to consider that I would never have thought of
Man iv been binge watching your vids and I gotta say you have a great personality, you remind me alot of my best friend and cousin who passed away 12 years ago ,great job and I hope you can do this for a living
Как хорошо забраться на возвышенность и заночевать там! Какой потрясающий вид !
Another great video. Thanks for the info on the food packs. I’ve not heard of them before. Definitely worth a try.
Cheers John. The meals are made with all natural ingredients which appealed to me. Very tasty. The breakfast was especially nice.
What an idyllic looking spot......absolutely stunning. Fair enjoyed that. Thanks for taking us along! 👍
It's a lovely spot. Pleased you enjoyed it and thank you taking the time to comment. Best wishes. Paul
Paul your videos are so immense and the picture quality is so clear and detailed also its a great wonderfull pleasure to get into the relaxed mood and watch the footage from your trips outside and I am nearly climbing into the T.V screen to be with you as I'm struggling with my rucksack and my walking hiking sticks bah humbug so please do keep your skills and your knowledge of your experiences in view of your wonderfull subscribers and the people who view your broadcasting happy like me 😉👍
Love it- there is always room in your pack for beer or beers 😋 lol such an Aussie thing to do
Us Brits like a beer too 👍
@@PaulMessner hehe us Canadians too
Ha, Brits have the advantage that they like there beer warm.... 🤣
What a brilliant video... thoroughly enjoyed it..
Great video Paul, very informative. Loved the detailed footage of the tent going up, improvised coffee filter and food bundles, thank for sharing, take care, atb
Thanks for watching
Love your vids man you not the type of person who buys some gear then doesn't test it we actually get to see you use it first hand in the "wild"
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
Superb vid , love them food packs and of course the soulo. Happy hiking my friend 👍🍻 Mac
Didn't know about Chrome Hill. Been looking for a dramatic sunrise location not too far away and easy to get to, thanks. Been watching a lot of your back catalogue to get inspiration for solo wild camping and got to say, I'm really chuffed how you've gone from nothing to brands throwing their products at you. Must be a great feeling. And great drone work by the way. Takes your videos to a whole new level. Well done mate
Thankyou my brother 🙏❤
Just back from Chrome Hill today. What an idyllic place. And we had brilliant weather for it too.
Visited because of this video.
Thanks Paul!
Another great film Paul informative as always, thanks for introducing me to Tent Meals will give them a try
Thank you Jeffrey. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Good video. Enjoyed it. I am starting to get homesick. Emigrated to Canada 26 years ago. I miss English pubs and the countryside.
Great Overnighter in a great tent ... now I want a Hilleberg Soulo. 😃
Greetings from Austria
🐾🔥🌲🔪
Love the way you film and show things in detail.. Fantastic area and what views to wake up to.. I have the same drone.. Nice aerial shots..
Thank you for watching and the kind words.
Great video mate. I'm always skeptical about the UV purification system. Although I know they work it just doesn't seem right lol
Nice one Paul. Fold away cup.....Genius
Absolutely. Thanks for watching
Another amazing little adventure on our doorstep.
Great video, cheers Paul:)
Always on the look out for the Hilleberg tents. Will bite the bullet and buy one when this mess is over, and I can get out to use it.
Paul thanks for the RUclips my question is i an understand you not wanting to wash dishes but what do you do with the seal proof bags when you get home dim them or wash for re use - please do not forge the plastic we are trying to get rid of re environment and i fully support you when you do not leave any rubbish a the camp site ?
That view~
It was amazing
A great vid Paul, and a brilliant camp location 👍🏻👍🏻 tfs
Haha I like how you always put up your tents at the windiest site possible
Great video as always Paul. Having gone round in circles mulling over which Hilleberg to get first I’ve decided this is the one! They look brilliant. 👍
Stunning view Paul that's does take your breath away,take care
Thanks John. it's gorgeous up there.
Just another fantastic video
More drne stuff Paul! More!
Good stuff Paul..been wanting to camp up chrome since i first went up a few year ago.that day i parked in the little village of glutton bridge & did a circular walk over both of them.It's great to look back over each of them from the other.nice spot there too,don't remember any sheep up there but i remember seeing evidence of badger,quite why they'd be up there i don't know..great are the white peak & it's a place i want to explore a lot more in the coming year's.those meals look the business too mate i may have to have a look into those.great stuff as always mate tfs..Andy.
Awesome adventure we enjoyed it very much ,Thanks
Cheers Gary. Glad you liked it
Hey mate, great videos! - From Malaysia
Cracking pitch with Awsome views, great vid
Good video useful and simple I liked 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼good job
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Paul
The dark brown Soulo blends in nicely with that terrain !
Another great video paul
Thanks Paul 👍
Lovely drone footage.
Hi Paul, Is there any benefit to a green or brown tent over say red? I'm starting some research on what to buy and presume it blends in better with the environment. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the great videos
Apparently green fabric resists UV exposure better than other colours, so longer lifespan
Awesome spot Paul 👍
Really enjoyable video, thanks.
ATB Dan
Cheers Dan. It's lovely round there. Thanks for watching.Best wishes
It may well be psychological, but I need some more convincing that the Steripen really works. Stirring it around in the bottle seems a bit random and I note that you've moved on to a Sawyer Mini Squeeze in other vids.
Robutube1 - I know what you mean, but it is indeed psychological. I've used them a million times and have never had so much as a dicky tummy.
Meanwhile in my part of America, you need something more powerful than just a steripen.
Another fantastic film, so inspiring. Going to head up their for a day in the next week or 2. Where did you park paul ?
Small village a couple of miles away. Name escapes me though
Love all your vids Paul, makes me homesick. Keep them coming. Both interesting and informative. Good man.
Old trick, shake your beers before handing them out!
Had to watch this back after camping there on Sunday. Looks like I slept in the same pitch 😂.
Great video and another tent thanks for sharing.
Cheers Gary. I sold the Akto and Helm to fund this. I'm extremely pleased with the soulo. Awesome tent.
great video..... really enjoyed it...took me to a nice place for a while.
Paul, please don't get me wrong but with all that wind and rain on the way why would you not pitch a bit lower down with a bit of cover for later in the night . Really enjoy your videos
Great film Paul, really enjoyed that
Thanks for watching Nobby. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB Paul
Lovely video.
Many thanks.
Thank you for watching again. Much appreciated
First outing in my Soulo this weekend on Kinder. Amazing tent in wet and wild conditions. Held up perfectly. Can’t say the same for my walking boots that started leaking after about 8 years of perfection. Any suggestions for boots that will hold up in Derbyshire peat bogs and rain?
Really pleased for you Tom. I knew you wouldn't be disappointed. Boots are a personal preference thing depending on comfort. I use Salomon quest gtx 4 i think they're called. The are really comfortable. They are still waterproof after many uses. If you go to Decathlon they have a 2 year guarantee on all their boots. If the waterproof fails they will swap for a new pair. Keep your receipt of course
Great advice. I’ll check them out.

@@stephenwharrior5835 Thanks. I went with Zamberlan with fitting from Foothills and couldn’t be happier. Out this weekend on Bleaklow to end lockdown.
Another cracking film! And you usually are a meat eater too!! Here's me thinking you were a vegan,just like me(not).. Great to see a hill near me checked out too, reckon I'll be doing a camp up there in the next few weeks. As per,all the best 👍 🇬🇧
It's a great place to camp Frazer. Plenty of sheep Sh*t so you may need some doggy bags haha. The views are amazing though and if you're lucky you may catch the double sunset that can sometimes be seen there.
Lovely spot to camp.
It's awesome up there. Thanks for watching.
Another great video, but can you explain a bit more about the dry pump you were using to pump your sleep pad up please. Do you really need to use one? I have a self inflating pad and pillow and was intending to top it up by blowing into it. Is that going to cause an issue?
Another good video 👌 I underestimated the Peak District, managed to get several hikes in last year with my wife, but we had to abandon Chrome Hill as was rained off.
Dear Paul you must come tu Dolomait or french alps
Hi Paul, Loved your vid as always but couldnt find the link for those tent meals, I would like to try them. Can you help please. Thanks Ken
It's ok Paul I have found it on my tablet but it didn't appear on my laptop for some reason.Ken
tent meals, co.uk
Cracking vid my friend and good to see the spark having a run out. Loved the location like a mini Helvelyn and looked an interesting place, oh and those beers are fantastic. Might post some footage from Sail if i can manage to gather enough so watch this space. Anyways until the next time take care and keep the vids coming...oh and those meals look awesome too right up my street. ATB Steve
Cheers Buddy. Managed to get all the gear in the Exos 48 including the drone so very happy. It's a great place. You're gonna have to come and see the Peak District sometime mate. It's not as grand a scale as the lakes but some stunning places no the less. Catch you soon.
Paul Messner excellent mate I’ll definitely be up for that as it looks awesome down there. 👌
Love the guy in the background at 12:11 :)
You’ve got yourself another sub Paul (it’s Ant Gaming from MCM FB page) thanks for some damn good tips there mate, not seen that water purification system before also I really like the look of the dried food you had, I’ll be checking that webby out mate, ta
Thanks Ant. Well impressed with the Steripen. I could have just used a bandana instead of the coffee filter but they way nothing so why not. It will last for 8000 litres too. Thanks for watching
That 1079 from Aldi is pretty decent for a cheap beer.
Awesome
Chrome Hill is definitely in Derbyshire not Staffordshire
You are probably correct. I parked in hollinsclough which is at the bottom of the hill. That is in Staffordshire. Thanks for pointing this out
Can u be my dad please would love if my dad took me out on camping trips like these but he left when I was 3 lol
Sorry to here that. I already have my hands full with the kids that I've got 😁
BOM video.
Great video enjoyed the video like the video great views like your tent
Thank you for watching as always Andrew. take care.
"normally I'm a meat eater... Now about those sheep..."
Great video (y)
Brilliant Paul what a stunning location ... have you tried the cinnamon breakie 😋😋😋😋
Good Stuff Mate
Thanks for showing us another part of the Peak District I for one didn’t know about Paul. Views were amazing! Food looked great too, must follow the link and have a look. ATB Anthony
Thank you Anthony. The meals are tasty. very surprised as I normally need some meat inside me (no pun intended). It's a gem of a location. Well worth a visit if you're down this way. Best wishes.
Hi, just started watching you videos as I've always wanted to do some wild camping and have started to get some gear together. This spot in the peak district looks nice for a first trip and it's not too far from me. I did see though that you are not allowed to wild camp in the peak district national park so wondered how you were able to? Looking forward to watching your other videos. Cheers.
Hi Paul, What was the yellow gadget you used to blow up the air bed? looks like a dry bag but seams to be attached to the air bed some how?
Schnozzel bag
Great video Paul I'd love a walk up there one day, never heard of the place before. You did very well to go to work after tho, well done
Cheers Steve. well worth a trip up. Getting for work isn't easy but needs must
Greetings from Indonesia
Hello Paul I have a question, how do you get to the places you camp?. Do you drive and then hike to the destination
Love how your always out! Would love to be out always !!! Question.... how to take a beer or two without weight???? Any ideas? Is there dehydrated beer ;-)
Dehydrated beer? Just add beer!
Just a great video again PAUL, really informative and well explained. I’ve camped for over 25 yrs mainly with family but not wild camping. Something I want to get into with my lad. I have a light wave g20mtn and a helsport fjellheim I need to get some decent light kit . I was wondering please if you would do an informative video which you recommend what is the best light kit to use? Regards Rob.
I'll see what i can do
At 12:10 is so freaky there jus sum random guy watching u in the background, weird
Never noticed before. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
@@PaulMessner no worries love the vids, I'm a delivery driver so try my best u stay safe too
@21:58 the shinola literally hit the fan...
Mate how you can do this on a school night is commendable.
I love your videos, I could watch them all day. What do you do for a living?
“I’m normally only a meat eater “ ! 👍😂😂😂😂
Another awesome video - what mat do yo sleep on
Hi Paul, I have recently purchased a 2020 Scarp 1 from TT and I am considering selling it in favour of the Soulo. Having viewed both your reviews, what would you recommend? Great vlogs, so keep them coming.
Great video, mate! Definitely gonna try that Tent Meals brand. The main one here in Norway is Real Turmat, but I'm not a big fan, to be honest. How are you liking the Soulo? Recently bought one myself, and I've only used it on a couple of hikes. Loving it, though. :-) - Marius
Thanks for watching. The soulo is awesome. It was really tested in the wind in my new video. Did you try the tent meals? What did you think?
I love the drone shots, something that would be interesting to try here in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. Thanks Paul!
Great video Paul on a interesting place.
Question i always thought that boiling water would kill any bacteria 😏
It does. I dont boil water if I want a cold drink though hence filters or a sterilizer
out of curiosity how much space is there up top ,do you think you could get a few tents on top ? as I only live maybe 35 mins away and wouldn't mind to wild camp up there myself
Nice bit o steripen action, but as ur gonna boil it anyway, boiling kills.
Could you make a comparism video between the soulo and the Naturehike Cloud Peak?
Hi Paul, nice video. Do you experience issues of condensation with your Soulo tent? Many thanks.
Do your kids ever come along with you mate.? Are they old enough yet.?
Excellent camp mezz never heard of dragons back great place to wake up in ..some good info on the snap as well atb paul ..steve
Cheers Steve. It's only a short drive from Bakewell. well worth checking out. Hope you're keeping well and catch up round the fire soon mate.
