I know traditional hand washing with soap and water continues to be the best choice. In my original post I said, "In a long term situation, they may not be available."

I want the second best choice if the best choice is not available.

I am on medication for depression and general anxiety.

I have also seen a psychologist for a couple of years with questionable results.

In a long-term survival situation with minimal water, you can still achieve sufficient hand sanitation with just enough water to lather your hands with a little soap or no soap and a handful or two of rinse water.

Noted. In a survival situation if all I have is just enough water to drink, I have a bigger problem than dirty hands.

Just how much water are we talking about and what sources? Water from a creak could make the situation worse.

For the sake of discussion I have adequate amounts of quality water. I would need paper towels as cloth towels would need to be washed.
