Methods, devices, and systems for deploying cargo for high altitude, low opening (HALO) deployments are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of coupling a parachute deployment device to the cargo, adjusting the valve to determine rate of motion of the piston through the housing and the timing of deployment of a stored parachute, coupling the stored parachute to the parachute deployment device, coupling a drogue parachute to the parachute deployment device, and deploying the cargo from a vehicle at altitude. Upon deployment, the drogue parachute deploys and activates the parachute deployment system by pulling the piston through the housing until a release is freed from the parachute deployment system and the parachute is deployed. The parachute deployment device comprises a housing containing a fluid, a piston adapted to move within the fluid contained in the housing, and an adjustable valve coupled to the piston accessible from outside the housing.
