Think the whole bug-out thing through. There's nowhere to go in suburban areas. Houses built right next to each other in neighborhoods - you can bet those folks will be armed. And, the ones who are not prepared, will have enough firepower to pick off people fleeing from inner cities with backpacks full of supplies.
You know you're going to be on foot or on a bicycle. Because, there won't be any gas, and inner city folks don't generally have cars anyway. Even if you have a car, you won't get it out of the city before you are attacked and supplies ravaged.
So, even if you get to the rural areas with your bug-out-bag, then what? Folks like me will be guarding our land against intruders - you have to stay off private land. I suppose if you could make your way to a wildlife management area, national/state park or national forest, you might find a way to be relatively free from others attacking you. But, once you exhaust your supplies just getting there, then what? I picture millions of city folks hunting squirrels with .22 pistols in national forests. The squirrel supply should last about 2 days.
