    portable bidet = squirt bottle?

    Water and a drop of liquid Baby Soap is all I'm using.
    A few drops of fresh water stuck down there won't hurt, but will evaporate soon.

    I use a shammy from time to time. Works well for me.

    If you use wipes, please pack them out - they do not biodegrade.

    Check out this AMC video on composting privies - at 5:30 note all the stuff thrown in privies that doesn't break down (wipes, tampons and applicators, underwear, socks - even merino wool, plastic bags, etc) Privies aren't garbage cans!

    Default backcountry bidet

    Skurka covers it:

    From reading various sources I've noticed a general consensus that washing one's hands afterwards with soap and water is more effective than hand santizer, if you have to choose just one method.
