The Tylaska Basilisk is a braking and rope redirection device that can be used to control the lowering of tree limbs and logs. Unlike other similar devices, it has a closed aperture passageway that prevents the attachment line from getting damaged. It also eliminates the need for a spliced connection. The attachment line can communicate with movement and can be separated from the device through the attachment points. This enables a bridle-like suspension to be created. The braking process involves passing the line through a series of through holes.
