I agree. I hike at night, often without a flashlight. These trips are planned though and I go when the moon is full (or at least 3/4) and the sky is clear. I have also been walking out to hunting blinds in the dark since I was probably about 8 years old. With all this "experience" walking around both woods and dessert in the dark I still wouldn't travel at night in a survival situation other than under the types of circumstances you've already mentioned.
