You may also consider these handles that close in a door. They work pretty well:

Also, I have one of those door frame bars, and I protect the door frame with tubular foam insulation from Lowes or Home Depot, which I fix in place by wrapping with duct tape.

You are stressing your finger's pulley tendons. Climbers very often get similar finger pains as you as they are putting pressure near the tips of their fingers. Give your fingers a rest if they hurt and invest in a pullup bar or something like this.

I work remote (currently in Canada's Northwest Territories) and I'm on the road all the time and am in work camps/ hotels constantly. I just need a solid door and I carry the following equipment with me in my personal bag as they pack pretty small. If you're so remote that you're tenting I can't really help.

-for pull ups as the above straps hang a little low in a door https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B006PDK1B4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been working out at home since 2013, and have collected most of what I need to workout. The only thing I'm missing is a rack, due to space concerns. Everything I have fits in my closet space. I have the following equipment:

• Powerblock Travel Bench - legs fold and lock on pins, it slides under my bed or in the closet
  
• Ab Roller - any cheap ab roller will do.
  
• Folding yoga mat - I pull this out for deadlifting and when ab rolling to give my knees a break from wood flooring and carpet. Again, any mat will do
  
• Standard barbell - mine holds... 250 lbs I think? Not a ton, but it works, and deadlift is probably the only lift I can even approach that kind of weight. More would be nice, but for that I'll need to start over with olympic gear.
  
• Dumbbells
  
• Around 200 lbs of standard plates in 25, 10, 5, and 2.5 lbs increments
  
• Foam Roller (18 inch model will do, I have 18" and 36" black), lacrosse balls, and Body Back Buddy - for trigger point therapy.
  
• Lifeline Power up Chin-up straps - I don't have any door frames that will support a pull up bar, and live in an apartment so don't want to damage the frames by mounting a permanent bar. These flip over a door and will support pullups, chin-ups, leg lifts, etc, and will work on any three-hinge door.
  
  Granted, you can't get all of these things on your budget, but I'd recommend a pull up bar (or the straps if your doorframe won't support it), some dumbbells (you can buy a 40 lbs set for around $40 in most stores), an 18" foam roller and lacrosse ball, and get some extra plates over time with the excess to get you started (only buy the extra plates when you cap out the 40 lbs, and only if you're going to continue exercising).

Small polyurethane “peanut” massage roller (I get back knots from traveling), small 5” x5” Ice pack (I have bad ankle arthritis) and portable pull up bars that you can hang over doors.

I travel with a 13L bag and try to keep it under 7kg.

There are travel pull up bars you can buy. There was a youtube video posted here awhile ago of ones you could make yourself out of rope and pvc. A hotel door should have no problem with these.

Never tried them and they look a little awkward but you could try something like these for travel to do chins

Will you have access to a door?

• Homemade pull up handles from Ross Enamait
  
• Lifeline Power-Up Chin Up

there's this, but it doesn't look that comfortable having your knees up against the door.
