The narrator has more knowledge than the man
The narrator knows the danger of traveling alone in extreme cold, while the character remains unaware. The narrator also understands that the man's lack of experience in the harsh environment will likely lead to his downfall, a fact not realized by the character.
If we knew, it wouldn't be an unknown piece of knowledge.
