Redneck Mom and me… BFF’s!

By Amber Woods on Monday, June 18, 2012

   I used to be entertained most days by the crackheads that lived in the two houses across the street from me and next to me. Unfortunately, before I had a chance to name any of them, they were all evicted. I guess meth just isn’t selling like it used to be. That was years ago. …

Honey this and Sweetie that

By Amber Woods on Sunday, June 17, 2012

Sometimes being treated like a girl is a real insult. I used to lift weights. I used to lift heavy things. I used to not be such a wuss. That was all before I was disabled. I’m eight percent permanently disabled from my degenerative disks in my back. Some days it is literally a pain …

My Home Depot Hell

By Amber Woods on Friday, June 15, 2012

When I step foot inside a Home Depot I feel like I can’t breathe. My chest begins to tighten up, and I feel anxiety. It’s not a normal reaction, but I did not have a normal childhood. I spent summer days trailing, behind my Dad in stinky hot Home Depot. I should have spent my …

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.
