My best guess: glass bottles, the pulley system, a bucket with wood shrapnell (essentially a smaller version of a toilet without running water). Glass bottles (compared to plastiic bottles) have the advantage of having extremely smooth surfaces and can thus be cleaned easily without residue. They have the disadvantage of being dangerous source of glass shrads if dropped. They could however be in a cloth bag to prevent that, or have a handle (like a coffee mug) to attach ropes/string to, to prevent another 'phone like' accident.

Loving this series Kurtis! This is such important work. Thank you. Stay safe.

You know there are 6 pipelines that go through the great lakes, One fifth of the world's fresh water. These are the type of people you are dealing with. The entire system is crooked.

the amazing Kurtis! you rock! - protesting, sciencing, educating, recording, editing, and uploading, while i can barely send a text or make a phone call!

Great video, cheering you on!

You're an inspiration Kurtis. I'll be cheering you on from Guelph Ontario and supporting you through my own efforts in Loving Action for a sustainable world.

Just donated to Protect the Inlet because urgency for initiatives like this is more apparent then ever. If I needed a phone case, I would get one of those from Pela, but admittedly, I already have a plastic one.

Thank you for not being afraid to tell people that knowledge isn't in a vacuum, and that what we learn necessitates activism.

I'm only at the very start of the video. I'm willing to bet your phone survived just fine. The youtube channel How Ridiculous dropped several smart phones out of a helicopter. Even after reaching terminal velocity, the phone's didn't hit the ground hard enough to break. Sure the screens cracked, but the phones functioned fine still. EDIT: Hah I knew it! Glad it worked out for ya, those things are sturdier than people give them credit for.

Haha, the first thing I thought when you said the phone was completely fine was that you should do a sponsorship with the company that made your phone case, and then you went and did it :)

The impact velocity of his phone wouldn't have mattered as much as the energy absorption of the ground (and the phone). In the forest the soft floor composed out of dry leafs would probably absorb most of the energy by compressing.

What are your plans when your phone runs out of power?

tree gang

In the book The Overstory by Richard Powers, a sub-plot involves two people living in a tree for around a year to protect the redwoods and they gave themselves nature/tree names that they felt strongly about, so you should do that as well and read the book if you haven’t already.

Usually I find protestors annoying and taking things too seriously but rlly good to see a protest about something so vital to the earth, more important than any other issue

Thx for testing the physics of phone-terminal-velocities... stay safe, you are doing a wonderful job.

Please Note: This construction that he is blocking....is a twinning of an already existing pipeline.....which will enable much more oil to be transported. This means there will be way more Tar Sands 'Oil' produced. The bitumen tar oil is for China......who probly doesn't even want it anymore. Also, this twinning of the TMX pipeline will add many many more tankers into the Salish Sea off BC, Canada exactly where the endangered resident Orcas live.

leaf litter saves the day lol

Well, your phone didn't hit terminal velocity from that height and a light object like a phone might get slowed down by hitting some tree branches on the way down which would also help. It's light weight and the somewhat soft surface of soil would also help prevent it from getting broken (decreasing the maximum amount of impact force it experience in any second upon impact).

Man I lowkey wanna live in a tree still

Good luck bro

Really impressed by your actions. I really hope you manage to cancel this pipeline altogether. I’m with you !

I have a super slim plastic case for my phone so it wouldn't be good for the planet if I threw a good case away in favour of a biodegradable one. Sadly there also isn't a case for my phone :( But when I need a new phone about 5 years from now (I hope) then I'll make sure that I can buy a proper case for it :)

I like how this guy do a math to predict if his phone will survive or not If me i would just panic
