Not sure what you mean by 2 ring strops. But i climb using both ends of my rope with a prussic. Never lets me down.

Thats the same thing, a ring strop is a prussik loop.

 

And yes you are a dinosaur, do you use a bowsaw as well or have you discovered the ms200.

Is your set-up simple because it works for you, or for some other reason?

 

I usually use one rope, VT, hitchclimber and a lanyard with grillon - it's simple but not as simple as yours.

I used one once and it got stuck when i tried to retrieve it. Not bothered with one since.
