Hike. Run. Eat. Travel. Live.

Easy Sweet and Sour Pork without deep frying.

By Amber Woods on Friday, August 7, 2026

People always ask me if I’m afraid of trekking through the forest by myself. The forest is my safe place. It’s where I find my zen away from the craziness of this world. The zen of the forest is where I go to find my center, especially after an evening of indulging in extra spicy …

Keto Boneless Buffalo Chicken Wings at last!

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, August 4, 2026

I have been hunting for a keto version of Boneless Buffalo Chicken Tenders for years! I’ve tried many store-bought versions. My biggest issue with the frozen store-bought versions, even when they are keto is that they use extremely processed chicken for the nuggets! Keto is supposed to make my lifestyle healthier; I don’t want to …

How to Survive a 36-Hour Fast Without Losing Friends or Freedom

By Amber Woods on Saturday, August 1, 2026

I’m the first to admit when I’m hangry. You do not want to be the driver who cuts me off on a mountain road in my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk after I’ve hiked a 10K and it’s well past lunchtime. You’ll see my middle finger faster than you can say, “This is why Jesus fasted in …

Crispy Kung Pao Air Fryer Chicken Without the Greasy Takeout Shame

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, July 29, 2026

If it’s summertime, then that means my days are full of wildflower hikes, sweating on wildflower hikes and swimming in alpine lakes. I have no time for bougie dinners that involve turning on the oven and turning my house into a cabin-like sauna. That is the life of an outdoor lifestyle content stylist and culinary …

Community Garden Crispy Potato Salad — Your BBQ Side Dish Just Got Tastier

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 26, 2026

Let’s face it, if we are currently just trying to survive through 2026, a year that gets crazier every damn day, you may want to be growing your own lettuce at home. Because in 2026, we simply can’t have nice leafy green things like green leaf lettuce or, heavens, even iceberg. I mean, according to …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a alpine adventure enabler who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
