Monarch Chair Update – Stability in Sand

Ever since we first started using the monarch butterfly chair, we’ve wondered how the chair would perform in sandy soil conditions.  Most of our trips are on the hard Texas clay, so we don’t typically run into this issue.   However; the two points in which the chair balances upon are small in size, which does not bode well for balancing on top of a sandy or soft surface.  In soft soil, the applied pressure won’t dissipate evenly, causing the chair to sink (not uniformly) and become difficult to balance (see photo).

Good News !!!! We have found an alternative that somewhat rectifies this issue.  While on a canoeing trip down the Big Thicket Reserve in Kountze, TX, we discovered a way to keep ourselves from sinking into the sand.  Using the storage bag as a platform aids in dissipating the pressure over a larger area.  This then allows you to balance much easier and enjoy.  After use, there is just some minor cleaning of the bag needed and your good to go.
