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.

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