Alrighty! Real-world notes time!
Firstly, if you’re intending to watch the anime alongside the readings, this week’s chapter covers the first and second episodes of the anime’s first season, which only had “five” (actually three-and-a-half) minute episodes. And as the fourth season, with half-hour episodes, did a recap of the previous three seasons in its first four episodes, this week’s chapter also covers approximately the span from 04:45 to 09:10 of the fourth season’s first episode (the span prior to 04:45 is the cold open, which is all-new footage, and the opening credits).
We’re still meeting the characters, so they don’t particularly go anywhere this chapter, aside from school and Hinata’s home. The main characters live in Hanno, Saitama, and while there’s certainly a high school in Hanno, schools in manga are generally not modelled after the real ones, for obvious reasons. Houses even more so, so if Hinata’s house really exists, I have no idea where it is. Yet?
Nevertheless, Hinata makes a bunch of references in the second-to-last panel of page 10: Mount Tsurugi is a mountain in Toyama, for some reason known as the most dangerous climbable mountain. マッキンリー refers to Denali in Alaska, currently known to… certain people… by its White Man name Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America. Uemura Naomi was a Japanese adventurer who went missing while climbing Denali in 1988.
Page 15 et al, Hinata’s father’s tent is supposedly a Mark-1 Moonlight model tent by Mont-Bell. I thought it looked a lot like Shimarin’s tent from Yuru Camp, only with uneven legs, and from further research it turns out Shimarin’s tent is a Mark-3 Moonlight. Unfortunately, both the Mark-1 and the Mark-3 were discontinued back in 2022 in favour of the Mark-2 model, which looks a bit different, so I can’t really link to a page for you to check it out for yourself.
Page 20, I don’t need to link Fuji-san, do I? 
Page 14, it’s so much clearer from the manga why she assumes the tent pole is for a bear, because here Dad shows her the tent bag first, and it has a bear on it. In the anime, he just hands her the tent pole, and doesn’t show her the bag (which has a tanuki on it instead) until after she’s made her guess. (I guess it’s a comedic timing thing. I wouldn’t know.)
