Seems logical. I would suggest soap instead of hand sanitizer, however.

I replace wet wipes with a hiking bidet spout that fits in the mouth of a squeezable bottle. I use the bag that comes with a Sawyer filter since I use a gravity system and don't use the squeeze bag with my filter. Wet wipes aren't LNT friendly and I am not a fan of carrying around a bag of soiled wipes if I can avoid it.
That along with tp, itself in a ziploc, and hand sanitizer are stored in a 5 liter dry bag I carabiner to the exterior of my pack for easy access.

Thanks! Good to know about the wipes & LNT.

Hand sanitizer isn't effective against noro virus or cryptosporidium. Also, when your hands are dirty (as in covered in actual dirt) the sanitizer is less effective overall.

First off, hand sanitizer won't clean poop off your hands as well as hand soap.
Secondly, yes, you typically need water for hand soap. What seems to be the problem?

In addition to what you have, I add a small collapsible trowel in a sleeve in case there is no biffy (ahahn posted a pic of similar). All is placed inside a small, light, bright blue dry bag. When folded down & clipped it forms a handle & also has a little loop for hanging. It’s pretty bomb proof & recognizable amongst my gear. I have camp soap in my kitchen gear or toiletry bag for washing hands. Oh & I remove the core of the t.p. & squash the roll flat. If it’s a long trip I have another partial/full roll squashed & vacuum sealed in my food barrel, it looks like a white brick when I’m done. The funny names have me rethinking “toilet bag”. Crap sack for the win.
