How I Tie My Presets Using ONLY Paracord

#treeclimbing #saddlehunting #preset #paracord
In this video, I walk you through step-by-step how I fashion my paracord presets to the tree when I'm ready to pull my throwline out. All you need is a throwball, throw line, and a length of 550 paracord double the length of your crotch height plus 2 feet to give you plenty to tie with.
I use only 75' of throwline to set my trees for hunting scenarios and carry an equal length of paracord to use as my preset (mitigates the need to measure out). This saves on the amount of tools you need to carry and allows you to reuse your presets for other trees as opposed to cutting specifically to the crotch height.

Wish they taught this kind of stuff in Boy Scouts

Yeah, it seems like a boy scouts lesson with how simple and general it is. Many parts of the process can be this simple. Lots can be extracted into other topics as well.

i tie the two edges of the paracord together (overhand or fishermen knot ) so i get a perpetual loop to avoid ascenario of pulling oneedge by mistake and losing the other end high up in the air , making you need to use the throw ball again. i connect the the rope anywhere on the loop with a clover hitch and after the rope is ready the loop is still available to lift another rope if needed.

[@MyClimbNHunt]

If I'm following you here, essentially the throw line and paracord create a large loop so you can rotate the entire assembly over the crotch until just the paracord portion is over the crotch, correct?
You then remove the throw line, join the paracord ends for another large loop and just attach the rope to the loop and rotate it up over the limb, leaving the paracord loop in tact at all times?
If I'm following you here, that's a neat way of doing it. If I'm misunderstanding though, please share where I'm missing the mark.

[@biranit50]

You got me correctly

[@Schubox62]

What knot do you use to tie the paracord to your climbing rope for hoisting? You said the paracord loop is for a loop on your climbing rope. Sewn loop? JRB-type loop? If so, how do you secure loop-to-loop? Without loops, which knot do you prefer?

[@Schubox62]

NVM, I saw that you used it in your DSRT video: a clip on a JRB loop.
I guess I am a fan of using the double bull or double clove like John, but I am on old guy playing around with SRT with mechanical devices. Enjoy your content thus far.

[@MyClimbNHunt]

Not a problem! Glad you're enjoying everything so far!
I have been using cheap keychain hooks on my end loops to make it quick to hook into the preset. Certainly don't need that though and could tie a highway man's hitch from the preset cord onto the end loop as well just like the way I do for pulling the preset cord up over the crotch with the throw line.
Previously I didn't use an end loop on the climbing rope end and just did a clove hitch to pull up and over without issue. I'm pushing myself now to try other options to see where I can gain more efficiency for when hunting season rolls around.
