Please help me understand the how the stack works. My brother has out Intrepid Hero  , I have a Ring of Evos Isle  on the field. I want to summon my Elderscale Wurm  and equip and activate the ring. Could somebody explain the stack process and whether my wurm is able to survive?

you cast Elderscale Wurm and it resolves you get priority again to equip Ring of Evos Isle in response to this your brother will most likely use Intrepid Hero and you got nothing to stop it your brother can also wait for the Equip abilitiy to resolve (tactical error on his part) in that case you do have the opportunity to stop his Intrepid Hero by giving your Wurm Hexproof if your life total is less than 7 it will become 7 in any case

Sorry I'm still a little confused. What actually ends the stack?

I guess I figured by me activating the rings hexproof it would be on the top of the stack making my wurm an illegal target. And I'm not arguing with you I'm just trying to learn.

the ability does nothing until it actually resolves so your brother is welcome to use his Intrepid Hero in response to you activating the ring's ability however, for you to activate the ability it has to actually be equipped*, yet another opportunity for your brother to use his Intrepid Hero *not strictly true, it just won't do anything unless it is equipped

The probelm is he destroys the wurm before the Ring is equipped.
The equip ability has a restriction on timing (only when the stack is empty) so you can not respond to the intrepid hero's ability by equipping again.
