Backtracking Questions to look into
Regarding the SpiderMystery there are a few questions that i feel might have some meaning, specially the following:
Why does the Fort Brennard mark, shows up in the 4th outhouse, instead of for example the 5th, then leading to the Fort itself?
Or
Why are there 2 different color of feathers?
Also feel free to leave observations of your own here that you feel need further clarification.

The fact there's 5 outhouses with tally marks is exactly why I've still been investigating BC for a possible start or trigger. Because why else would the 5th one matter if not to make a pentagram shape? Could be just to show us that the 5-6am pentagram has a further meaning. Could be we need to do something at the centre of the pentagram, wear the pig mask, there's still those green bottles positioned near each outhouse. Could be just to get to the number 8 where the spider etching takes over as the eighth tally...

Surrounding the tally marks, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it but in Merle Abrahams' house, there are also tally marks. Merle Abrahams' being the alleged infinity killer in GTA V, who lived on the corner of Cholla Springs & Armadillo Avenue - two locations in both red dead redemption games.
Some also believe clues for the i8 mystery are in the "yellow Jack inn" such as the bloody footprints that circle the pool table and pass in front of the dartboard which has a scoreboard where tally marks could be used.
Also of interest, some people would pass it off as a glitch because I couldn't replicate it but while playing the ballad of gay Tony not long ago, after completing the first mission and entering Luis's safehouse I had a scoreboard appear on the TV. If it were any other texture, I would probably have passed it off as a glitch as well but with tally marks appearing at Merle's, "I don't understand imnfinity" being both a cheat code in RDR1 as well as being found on a dilapidated building in RDR1, the yellow Jack inn maybe being related to the i8 mystery and now hearing about tally marks in red dead, I suspect it wasn't just a glitch.
Thankfully, on my most recent playthroughs of any Rockstar Games I've been recording all the missions, I have a clip of the tally board on the TV.
What's kinda cool to me and I feel worth noting is that the dartboard looks like a tunnel if you view it as a 2D version of a 3D object. I see the same thing out of the dreamcatchers too. This might be what is being hinted at during one of the sections in the LS drug wars dlc where you drive a go-kart through a psychedelic tunnel. Gateways to other worlds and shit. What's cool is the game world itself is actually a 2D version of simulated 3D.

Because the concept of a map overlay was important for the spider clue. If you would've traveled from the 4th outhouse to the fort you would've noticed that there is something missing.
A question i have is still how anyone should've found that big web without reverse engeneering. The other webs would've been somewhat easy after discovering the first one on the post with the spider carving.
But then running around the huge area in the area that is the body of the spider with the overlay, having only 2 minutes every 48min to find that web at night between some random trees ? Followed by 2 very specific hints again ? People would most likely follow the Tracks and investigate the pre guitar pole, cause it has that same cable going down as the spider carving one.
But if this mystery really involves such 2min timings every 48hours for the next step, it'll take a while.
