I know this, and took that into account, but my recomendation came after some research into various vendors and my own personal experience based on my own gear. Most "ready made" straps are 1" and most metal bits (dutchware, elephant trunks etc) are focused on 1" widths, as well as the most commercial options such as ENO are 1" wide, I wanted to be sure that everyone could hang with gear they currently had and didnt have to carry a "virginia specific" set of straps if they were visiting. I think a minimum of 1" is acceptable as a minimum.
Agreed, as thats how I usually end up doing it but for a "rule" that would be kinda hard to word and carry out. But yeah, a 1" strap wrapped twice should be essentially 2"
