A social-media video with a half-million views starts out with some gummy bears perched on the Knife Edge, a jagged-rock edge on the way to the summit of Capitol Peak.

Brad Hodge is the hiker/mountaineer behind this funny video. Hodge doesn’t explain why he’s setting small gummy bears up on the rocks and taking pictures, but who cares as long as he’s having fun. The mountain goat, meanwhile, is used to being the center of attention. While the goat does end up starring in the video, Hodge himself is the main character.

“I’m definitely a few fries short of a happy meal but I’ll be d*mned if I’m not loving life right now!” Hodge wrote in his Instagram post sharing the video.
