I was never a Boy Scout and suck at tying knots so I had to fix mine so it is knotless ! I simple did as others showed me and drilled TWO holes on one side of the seat. Walk up to the tree, slide rope around while holding the seat tilted up about 20 degrees, then run the loose end of rope thru one hole, back up or down thru the other hole,( doesn't matter which way you go, up or down ), then stick the tag end of the rope back thru the loop formed by the rope going thru the two holes in the seat and pull snug. When you put your weight on the seat the tension will level the seat and the rope will bite into itself and NO knots to tie ! If you missed on the angle you can simple ease up and push the base of the seat a tad lower on the tree increasing the angle and reset for the correct angle. When it is time to go home I have the rope marked with a sharpie on where to set the rope to make a bandolier loop and sling it over your shoulder for the walk out. Love Dean's seat, it is awesome and so simple. Thanks for sharing it with us Dean !
