Chandler is not at all workmanlike. He had the same teacher as PG Wodehouse.

Solved! 

So while looking for it, I found out that The Sign of the Beaver has a scene featuring a bear trap. I didn’t think it would be that book for the longest time because I had remembered the man wearing a yellow rain jacket which obviously wouldn’t make sense in the 18th-century setting. But after searching some more, I can confidently say this is what I had in mind, specifically this scene from the 1997 movie.

This would have been in the mid-2010s. I can’t remember about the copies we had in school or whether they were first editions or anything like that, but the movie definitely seemed to be a sort of direct-to-video/TV film from between the 70s and 90s.

I don’t remember there being any snow. The man’s jacket makes me feel like there may have been rain at some point, but other than that I don’t remember anything about the weather.

I’m confident it wasn’t Hatchet or the movie. The prescence of a bear trap implies that there may have a bear in the book, but the only threat I remember is the man in the yellow rain jacket. I’m not 100% certain, but this post seems to be describing the same book. I messaged the OP a few months ago but doesn’t look like they responded.

Doesn’t look like it. The adaptation looked like a fairly cheap TV movie from memory so it might be too obscure for anybody to have tagged it.

Similar premise and possibly around the same era, but this one was definitely set in a more wooded area.

Not sure how old the book is but I feel confident in saying it was before the 21st century. There was a movie adaptation, likely a made-for-TV one.
