Why would you think the Instrument Procedures Handbook seems
surprisingly vague in this regard?

I figured IFR would leave no detail uncovered, but I was unable to find
specific instructions on what to do in the handbook.

There is a single approved IFR departure procedure published for Big Bear
from rwy 8: the OKACO RNAV procedu
http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0713/09469OKACO.PDF

The published take-off minimums and obstacle clearance departure procedures
make it clear that the take-off minimums for the airport are 1200-2 w/
a min. climb of 282' per NM to 8000' when utilizing this procedure,
and that this procedure is only authorized for Rwy 8. See:
http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0713/SW3TO.PDF

That seems fairly clear to me.
