Flying Drogueless With a Bound Parachute
For traditional dual deployment from a single compartment using a drogue parachute, you'll want the Tender Descender Tether & Release Device. This works well for a "burrito wrapped" parachute.
When flying drogueless, the best method of restraining a Nomex-bound parachute is with either lightweight nylon cord or a plastic zip-tie. The Piranha Line Cutter is used to quickly release this restraint at an altitude determined by your altimeter and free the parachute to deploy.
Reefing a Parachute for Dual Deployment Using a Single Parachute
Now THIS is exciting! The stainless steel Piranha Line Cutter can be used to employ a single parachute as both the drogue and the main by "reefing" the parachute so that, as a drogue, the parachute acts more like a streamer. Then, when the reefing line is cut and released, the parachute can fully inflate to become the main!
