If fingers aren't enough then a small piece of scourer.
I've got by like that for a few years bushwalking and more often car camping in between. If by car then a dish brush.
Hygiene is important but not as fussy as we may think.
I wouldn't bother using dirt or sand, have heard ash from the fire works wel plus is sterilised...
I wouldn't drink the dish water myself!

Eat out of the pot, wipe it clean with fingers. Repeat until back home and then wash. If the pot gets really grungy, I'll scour it with sand/dirt and rinse.
Probably does wonders for the immune system even if it does sound a bit gross.
