I do not agree with the bit that said "you can only bug out in daylight" I think that is the most dangerous part of the day when ANY movement will be noticed, I think early-pre dawn- and late-just before dusk- are the times to bug out and hide up(and rest) for the main part of the day is the way I would do it.

You may be generally correct but people will soon bug out, or should I say seek other places when they have no more food and/or water and the local stores are empty, probably looted. Hunger will drive them out and they will seek anywhere and do anything to feed and water themselves and their children.
They will not just sit in doors and die quietly.

not necessarily John, I don't agree they'll leave their homes, they may scavenge further and further afield but come back to their home afterwards. only if there is a large die off and many houses are left empty will people move on.
