Stockpile14,000 students learning to feed their families, filter their water, and treat a wound — before they need to.
My name is Marcus Webb. I grew up in a suburb of Houston where the worst thing that happened was a fender bender in the Kroger parking lot. I coached Little League. I grilled on weekends. I had a Ring doorbell and felt safe.
Then February 2021 arrived and Uri took everything with it. Roads locked. Grid down. Stores stripped. My family of five had three days of food, no way to heat water, and a first aid kit that hadn't been opened since 2017. My youngest had a fever.
I wasn't unprepared because I was careless. I was unprepared because nobody had ever shown me what preparation actually looked like.
Spent six months learning every water purification method that doesn't require electricity. Tested charcoal-and-sand filters in the backyard. Preserved 90 lbs of produce from a first garden.
Wilderness First Responder certification. Learned to field-dress wounds, manage hypothermia, build emergency shelter from available materials. Spent three nights in the woods with nothing but a knife.
Root cellar dug and stocked. Ham radio licensed. Began teaching neighbors. First informal class had 11 people in a garage. By summer, 200 people had asked to join.
From suburban fathers to remote homesteaders. From quiet professionals to grandmothers who remember when everyone knew these things.
The gap between knowing and not knowing is measured in real hours, real cold, real hunger. Stockpile closes that gap — one field-tested lesson at a time.
Stockpile is organized as a field manual, not a lecture series. Each chapter builds on the last. Each lesson has been tested in real conditions, not simulated ones.
Every method that works without electricity, chemicals, or a trip to the store.
"You can survive three weeks without food. Three days without water is a different story entirely."
How to keep vegetables alive through February using a hole in the ground and cold physics.
"In January, my root cellar had 200 lbs of food. My neighbors had whatever was left at Walmart."
The gap between a wound and an infection is knowledge, not equipment.
"I've treated three wounds in the field. None of them required a hospital. All of them required knowing what I was doing."

These aren't testimonials written for a marketing page. They're accounts of real situations, written by people who used what they learned here.
"I used the charcoal filter method during the flooding last spring. Ran 40 gallons through it over four days. My family drank clean water while the town was under a boil notice for three weeks."
"I'm a remote homesteader in northern Idaho. I thought I knew what I was doing. The root cellar section alone changed how I store food. Lost zero produce this winter for the first time in five years."
"I'm an ER nurse. I thought the medical module would be redundant. It taught me three things I'd never applied outside a clinical setting. The tourniquet timing especially — that section alone is worth the course."
"My husband calls it my 'prepper phase.' I call it the year I learned to keep my kids fed and safe through a 10-day grid outage in December. We were the only house on the street with heat and food."
No credit card. No pitch. Just the lesson — 47 minutes on water purification that works in any situation.
Lesson 01: "Water Before Everything" — 47 minutes. Covers three purification methods, storage math, and the one mistake that gets people sick in the first 48 hours.
A two-page field checklist covering water, food, medical, communication, and shelter. Built for suburban households. Print it, fill it in, and know exactly where your gaps are — tonight.
"The audit took me 20 minutes to fill out. I found three critical gaps I didn't know I had. Fixed them in a weekend."
Every lesson in Stockpile was field-tested before it was taught. If you finish the first module and don't believe it was worth your time, reply to any email and we'll refund you without question.
