Life-Changing Air-Fryer Shenanigans for my Keto Kitchen

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 8, 2021

I will be the first to admit, I climb 14,000 mountain peaks so I can consume delicious fried foods, or the foods formally known as fried foods because now I own an air fryer! Turning forty years old obviously means trying to maintain somewhat of an athletic body. ( Even if we are in the …

How to make an authentic Anglo Indian meal for American Dummies

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, February 3, 2021

Once upon a time, I thought that adding store-bought curry powder with a scoop of Greek yogurt to some chicken breasts made me a good Indian cook. I knew how to make a mango lassi in my nutri-bullet and I threw curried chicken breast in my salad all the time. This Indian cooking wasn’t so …

Big Bear Lake; Home Sweet Home

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, January 26, 2021

Even before I moved to Big Bear Lake California eight years ago I would call myself a mountain woman. As a tried and true mountain woman, I spend my day’s trekking just as many miles of mountain trails as I possibly can. While out on the trails I’m constantly on the lookout for wild edible …

A Pandemic Safe Holiday Getaway to Menifee

By Amber Woods on Thursday, January 21, 2021

Last year at this time we were on holiday in the jungles of southern India. We had been vaccinated against Cholera and Yellow Fever. The thought of a global pandemic never would have crossed our minds as we sat on that hired bus rumbling through the sultry jungles. Our holiday shenanigans included beachside cocktails and …

About Me
Amber Wood
Amber Wood

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 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. 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.
