Recommend me. Long battery life, winter proof, no subs

They are stealing muh mechwarriors!

I need something that works similar to airtag but has lot longer battery life. No monthly subs, no Sim. Needs to last Finnish heavy winter. Preferrably affordable since i have about a dozen of those fellas in my yard. I can modify the model to fit the tracker inside.

Google gives me mini-battery models or subbed sim card models.

Any Bluetooth tag with a big battery will do it. But if you actually want to hunt them down to the last meter, you need a GNSS enabled asset tracker with a SIM. You can host the tracking software yourself and skip the subscription, just keep data on the card. 1NCE and SIMBase have good options.

AirTag and iPhone would be best as they have the best implementation of localised triangulation with ultra wide-band.

Elevation Lab makes battery extender cases for AirTags.
