Same thing can be done with a GI poncho. Just string it up flat as you can and put a bucket under the place where your head goes through. The hood catches most of the water and causes the flow to be pretty stable.

Not good for very windy locations, but moderate winds don't seem to bother it very much. especially if you restrict the neck opening a bit so there is always some water on the tarp.
