Amber Exacta Life of a Degenerate Gambler

Fall Fashion and Gambling Guide at Breeder’s Cup 2021

By Amber Woods on Friday, November 5, 2021

The first of November has me more excited than a little kid waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Is it the fresh falling leaves and all the smells of autumn in the air perfuming our mountain forest? Maybe it is going for a woodsy stroll with my pup on a crisp November morning. Or …

Mirchi Ka Salan Chili Peppers Braised In Coconut Soup

By Amber Woods on Sunday, October 31, 2021

I would just like to say, I simply adore traveling to India and all the sites, foods and smells that entails. Okay, maybe not all of the smells. I could do without the smells of that river over yonder that is also the town toilet, or that cow that just pooped in the middle of …

Paneer and Peas Tikka Masala

By Amber Woods on Monday, October 25, 2021

The first time I had tikka masala I was in London, twenty-five years old and a little scared of Indian food. After all the bullshit I had been fed back in California about how bland and God-awful English food was I wanted to run straight towards a familiar restaurant. Take me to the Olive Garden. …

Leaf Peepin our way through the eastern Sierras

By Amber Woods on Friday, October 22, 2021

Rain! Thunder! Lightning! Snow! Does that sound like your kind of vacation? Our family usually treks to the eastern Sierras to witness mother nature in all her stunning beauty for the fall colors each October. Nothing makes me happier than leaf peeping eastern Sierras fun. But you don’t get weather in southern California, all you …

Indian Cooking in an RV — Because Curry Somehow Tastes Better at a Campsite

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, October 19, 2021

Camping is not for everyone. I get that. It takes a badass attitude to deal with some of the challenges that come with camping, motorhome living, or trying to be one of the best RV chefs in a hundred-mile radius.   Just tent camping with the family can be hard enough when you wake up …

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.
