Maybe I am not using the search correctly. But, I can't find anything on setting up the BB as a makeshift bivy. Anybody else know of any posts pertaining to this?

Better have a good ground cloth...

You can do something like this....
Do use a ground cloth though.

Recycled plastic tarp ground cloth and Ridgerest pad. I don't have a WBBB yet. I am looking at some bug net bivy bags. But if I can rig the BB with hiking poles and/or my bike frame, I would prefer it over a bug bivy.
Might get some ideas from this post...

Thanks....fortunately I've never had to use it while backpacking etc. but it's nice to have in your bag of tricks. I've only been skunked once in several years of hanging. That was in Joshua Tree NP in CA...basically a desert (sp). I knew what I was in for there so I had a tent as a backup.

Since we were on the subject I thought I'd grab my new Switchback and see how it would do on the ground. I liked the results especially since it has four tieouts on the hammock bed to stretch it out and keep it in place. The line holding the netting to the pole is a bungee which comes with the hammock. It's attached to the tarp with a #0 Nite Ize biner. That's a Hennessy Tarp.

Breaks my heart, those pictures do....
