Easy to put together, easy to fold up and store.
Get a pair of wooden rings and say hello to the ultimate upper body workout.

would you trust your face to equipment that is supposed to support like 30# of resistance?

I hang my rings over a large tree limb. Before I started I scouted several parks. You could also possibly use the swings in a park. But I'm a bit uncomfortable taking the kids area.
Not sure of the height you need. I just eyeballed it and bought [these] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PVCMSS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I hope I don't need a trainer. I'm just taking things slow and being careful. There are lots of resources online and books. Search youtube. I've been enjoying Sam Tribbles videos. I found a really basic workout online from gold medal bodies. They also offer some sort of online course you can do. Though, I haven't really looked into that yet.
I've gotten pretty good at the 1st GMB workout. Now I'm researching a new one.
I'm also looking at doing aerial yoga. the Omni-Swing looks interesting. There is something about doing the aerial arts that gives me a really good lasting high(Joke Intended but still serious). Plus I feel like I've been getting a good workout and I've hurt my back several times doing regular weights. I think body movement stuff is really the way to go for me.
Try this chalk.
I love this for everything.
I dont know what kind of rules exist regarding hanging from trees, but buying (or making, somone had a link to a howto around here in the last day or so) a set of Gymnastic Rings might provide a light piece of equipment to carry in but allow you to do all kinds of stuff.
Once I am in better shape to use them (Im not strong enough currently) I think I will add them to my routine as the workouts look pretty awesome.
I did this for a few years. I just used a foldable mat (something like this but a different brand.
Nope! Just on the hands a little. I do a quick little bar wipe down, too, but you totally can't see it on the bar. This is the one I use.

I use a couple of those. You gotta reset a bit, and I wouldn't suplex someone onto them. But they work for rolling, and I've been to competitions that had a smaller competition area. Plus side is they are way cheaper than most mats marketed to grapplers.
I use this because it's the cheapest on Amazon and chalk is chalk.
Lol the downvotes for the truth.

This stuff right here. They mix some kind of lotion in it so it keeps your hands from cracking and breaking open. Lathers on better than unicorn dust and is cheaper. Also it smells really nice.
I’ve had these for just about a year and basically still seem brand new

What about something like these gloves? Weight lifters use those. If you like them, I'm pretty sure you can find a leather worker on etsy who can custom make them to fit the whole palm.
These are also weight lifting.
These are wheelchair specific
Train grip strength. On the days you don't deadlift, like squat and bench days, jump up and just hang on the pull up bar with one hand. Hold for as long as you can and then switch hands and repeat.
On submaximal deadlift days, hold on to the bar on the last rep of each set for a 10 count. Just hold it. Also, you said powder... I don't know what that means but use chalk or get some liquid chalk.
Chalk
Liquid Chalk
OK thanks! One last thing: looking at the rows, I see what MrZparkle was saying: I seem to need some rings, right? Would these be okay? And once I get to the horizontal rows, would I need a low-down bar or something, or should I use the rings?
It seems like this would be harder on rings, since I'd have to use effort to keep my arm position correct, rather than just grabbing a bar.
To add to u/missprincesscarolyn's response, here's a link to gym chalk. It's Amazon but really should be able to get this at any sporting goods store. Just put a chunk in your bag that's manageably sized and rub your hands on that; I used it in my bag for a long time because I thought the alternatives were overly expensive and messy.
I just ordered a couple of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Black-Folding-Gymnastic-Fitness-Exercise/dp/B00IERSS8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504723462&sr=8-1&keywords=Black+4%27x8%27x2%22Thick+Folding+Panel+Gymnastic+Mat+Gym+Fitness+Exercise+Mat+R4)
8 x 8 for $135
Dumbbells aren't essential, and most people at /r/bodyweightfitness don't use them regularly.
Many of the exercises you would use them for (flies, curls, rows, etc.) are replaced with an exercise on gymnastics rings.
Tim Ferriss is always talking these up

You can do full rom hspu off a curb - can you find a curb in this dystopia you are in with no books?

I know it's not what you've got listed as something you really want, but:
http://www.amazon.com/GoFit-GF-PUB-Push-Up-Bars/dp/B0007W2FLS/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1320159827&sr=1-3
These are really good. Coach Sommer, author of the book which I also read and love, really recommends doing a lot of l-sit work. If you can get to the point where you can hold an l-sit for even a couple seconds, those pushup bars are your best friend. Seriously, wake up and hold an l-sit on those suckers for a few reps, and your abs will be tough as nails quite quickly.
As far as rings go, don't go cheap. If you want to make your own, make sure you find a guide that will build rings to support your weight. I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Rings-2-0-Gymnastic-Crossfit/dp/B0030CEHYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320160318&sr=8-1
They have treated me extremely well, and I have made a lot of progress on these rings, from barely holding myself up to doing a muscle up to planche to handstand on them. They are still good as new. They are like 37 bucks and are available with prime, so it's a pretty good deal. If you're willing to spend some more money you could actually get a nice pair of wooden rings. They are pretty nice and work well with chalk.
Anyways, if your rope is going to be exposed to the elements, I would suggest staying away from those manila ropes. One of my fitness instructors mentioned that once they start to wear out, they can splinter and get stuck in your hands and arms. Sounds REALLy uncomfortable.
I...don't know if I would use the rope to make monkey bars. I would think the flexibility of the rope would taco your hand in the wrong direction and be pretty uncomfortable. I don't know for sure.
Piping would probably be cheaper.
Also, if you have a anchoring beam, I would recommend getting a pair of gymnastic rings and some nylon slings or loops that are similar to TRX. But TRX is kinda overpriced.
My nephews have a swing set that would be perfect for hanging some rings, been looking at Rogue and EXF. Anybody have any experience with these or can recommend another brand? I'm wary of the rubberized grip on the EXF rings longterm in the sun.

Thanks folks.
I think I'll go with the rings, just hoping that they will easily fit inside my 44l backpack.
I presume any rings will do, but want to double check that these are fine : http://www.amazon.co.uk/fitnessXzone-Gymnastic-Rings-Upper-Strength-y/dp/6030588184/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Thanks again! :)
These are pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/JerkFit-Finger-Leather-Gymnastics-Protection/dp/B07DRBKLCV
