Solanum crispum, commonly called Chilean potato vine, is native to #Chile & #Peru . 
Not edible but leaves are medicinal. Mashed leaves can be applied to cuts, wounds, inflammations or skin problems. #WildernessFirstAid

Last weekend I had my first of two full day assessments to become a REC3 Trainer.
After teaching for 11 hours on my feet to a kayaking club, I passed!
Officially I'm now a REC1 Trainer. One more assessment to go, but no firm date yet. A couple of more courses coming up to assist on and gain experience.

Interesting area to add for covering in my #WildernessFirstAid class (which I am not covering yet), is how to handle people who are overcome with overwhelming, debilitating anxiety when they are cut off from 24/7 instant communications (ie. no smartphone/cell phone access in remote areas/wilderness). Taught a class this weekend and several participants have had to deal with people with those issues. #ModernLife #FirstAid

Helping to teach a REC3 course to a kayaking club in Roscommon this weekend.
I get the best places to go, although the weather is wild.
