Both the GPS and the phone module is going to be useless while underground, so perhaps it will be better to turn them off altogether and use a separate timer to reconnect them after a few days. A disconnected battery can last quite a long time.

Even an energized battery, on a low duty cycle, (Transmitting once a day at low power), can last upwards of 20 years.
