The commentary mentioning a "guide" makes me think SCP again. Like this guy is some unlucky class-D sent to investigate the cursed building. Same about other guys we see (dead guy on the sealed room floor, and the parachute guy).

That bird is the Bird Box movie reference right?
The artist said it's more or less the same reason as canaries in coal mines.
Looking back, isn't that guy using a Giant Otter map? Wonder how he got it if so, since the pictograms they use are only really for other Giant Otters.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sold copies of their maps in exchange for supplies.
It also wouldn't surprise me if they omitted the fact that they're indecipherable unless you're a Giant Otter.
The whole "bird as radar" thing is from miners in the old days. They would bring a canary with them, because if they hit a natural gas pocket the bird would die of suffocation/poisoning well before the miners would be affected, and they would know to get out of the mine before they started succumbing to the gas.
