technique for trekking pole setup to hold up bivy?

[Mike M]

I'm going to be camping above treeline and most likely will be sleeping cowboy style, but I'd like to have something to quickly tie my bivy up to in the event of a rain (or by the looks of things snow!) event rolling through

crossed poles w/ a loop around them and staked out-will this stay up on it's own? I don't want multiple guy lines if possible, if I can get it done in one that would be perfect

bonus for pics or drawings!

thanks

Mike

This is what I use for my bug bivy. If necessary, I can set it up while laying down in the bivy. I reach out and set a single stake, run a cord from the stake, wrap the cord around both poles and down to the bivy. I prefer setting up to the side because of the zipper configuration on my bivy.

perfect- thanks much!
