"This is one I can't really remember seeing on this sight other than in short mentions here and there. Suppose following an apocalyptic scenario you find yourself out in the open, away from the safety of any kind of encampment or shelter.

Would you choose to move with the daylight, making the most of the vision? Or would you choose to move in more nocturnal hours, say from dusk to dawn, when other survivors may be sleeping, and when zombies and other hostiles may have more difficulty tracking and following you.

And, since everyone's idea of their own little survival scenario is different, comment on one or all of the three:
1) You're on foot, alone, hoofing it towards the next town to re-supply in, or searching for other survivors or a stronghold to take shelter in.

2) You're traveling by vehicle, either alone or with one other car or truck. Similar circumstances to option one, continuously mobile in search of supplies or a safe haven.

3) You are in a secure, relatively impenetrable stronghold, and raiders are nowhere to be seen. However, your zombie free safe haven is running desperately low on supplies, and you're in too far a secluded area to find anything substantial enough to support you and your group within a day's walk. "

"if by car, i dont know how it would make a difference to me.

on foot, i would go by day. its too easy to step in/on something and get hurt. also you never know where a zombie might be hiding and you step on it.

EDIT: also other survivors will probably have night guards around their hideouts and you wont see them but they may mistake you for a threat. or they might just be a threat to you.. i prefer to see"

"Depends mainly on the zombie archetype I am faced with."

"It's Kid Cudi actually. "

"but as for the "normal" human zombie our senses aren't good enough while we're alive."

Sprout that. :)"
