Yes, you need bottom insulation - the sleeping bag will compress under you and you'll be cold.

scottiebaldwin: "I own a bunch of Kammok gear including both a Mantis and a Mantis UL. You’ll love it! Yes, I would always use an under quilt as it tends to get chilly in the morning even on hot summer days. I recommend getting a Firebelly. I bought two of them and I use them for my over quilt and under quilt and I’ve skipped using a sleeping bag all together. The Firebelly also turns into a poncho that you can wear when it’s chilly. Also, buy yourself a Joey hammock for gear underneath you!

It was deliverd on Monday and I slept in the same night in the backyard, it was awesome! I did the UL two arctos quilts and organizer. The Joey was out of stock, but I'll be purchasing that once in stock!

Been reading a bunch on it, I think this is the one I am going to go with. My question is I typically bring a zero degree mummy and a liner for my fall trips. Does a guy need the under quilt?
Any recommendations for accessories to add to the hammock?

Also I want to mention that even though I own a 1.9oz CCS tarp, If you are not tarp savvy, an easy one to use is the Kammok Kuhli. There are no knots required, it’s just pull tight. You don’t need a lot of skill to use it and it’s ultra light and will do the job. It is certainly not in the league of Cooke Custom Sewing but it can be a worry free way to go while also providing a larger tarp area than the small gray one that comes with your Mantis.
