Check it out- he even describes the "back country bidet" technique....

That's a well done video.
I've switched over to the bidet method in the last couple of years. I still use tp as well, just a lot less. Can't always find appropriate leaves/sticks/stones/snow so I often use some tp to get started, then water, then a bit of tp to dry off. Probably gross people out but I don't carry soap or hand sanitizer. And I prefer to use my dominant hand. When someone offers to shake my hand in the backcountry I generally warn them off.
