Once dropped, the Captain's Log lasts 5 minutes on the ground before it despawns.
In Rust, Captain's Log is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #1230691307, console shortname captainslog). In active play, it follows standard server rules for event item and key gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

In Rust, Captain's Log has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Monument recyclers do not break this item down into raw components, while it serves its dedicated role inside the Misc catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Captain's Log against related misc in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
