Dirty Campers

Abolish that Lovely Dirty Camper Smell from a Motorhome

By Amber Wood on Friday, August 16, 2024

As much as we all love the call of the great outdoors, oh the joys of having indoor motorhome plumbing can lead to some odors. Spending your life hiking up mountains, mountain biking along alpine streams, cuddling with your smelly adventure dog can make for smelly campers by the evening back at camp.  In between …

What the Hell is Going on Here?

By Amber Wood on Sunday, July 28, 2024

I live and work and hike in a national forest. It’s a quiet place away from the crime and the urban jungle of the cities near Los Angeles below this alpine mountain town. It can feel worlds away from the stress and suburbia of the busy hell holes of the cities down below. We don’t …

About Me
Amber Woodyard
Amber Woodyard

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and 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 hiking guide 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 [email protected] 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. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
