Sweet, Smoky, and Slightly Inappropriate: Candied Sausage Burnt Ends

By Amber Woods on Friday, August 29, 2025

After a summer’s camping morning of trekking to a backcountry lake, I definitely deserve some Meat Candy.  Hello there, Candied Sausage Burnt Ends. Trekking uphill at over 10,000 feet can be exhausting, but its all worth it when you get to relax at the end of the day at a private mountain lake beach, just …

How I spent my Summer vacation, Adult Dog Mom Edition

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, August 20, 2025

If you, like I, are a fan of the most secluded California lake camping spots, then come with me on a California road trip adventure! So, off we jet-packed at 5 a.m., farting our way up Highway 395 (I swear, the dog’s just a natural gas factory), fueled by Raisin Bran and way too much …

Prepare for a Catastrophic Event; How to survive a disaster

By Amber Woods on Sunday, August 17, 2025

Let’s face it, we live in an ever more catastrophic world. Sometimes I feel like we are living through a dystopian novel every day. Seriously, even Stephen King himself couldn’t write this shit. So, how do you prepare for the inevitable with humor and a touch of existential dread? With a bit of planning, you, …

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.
