One can get pretty far with just a pull up bar and gymnast rings.

For many exercises, you don't need any equipment at all.

Push-ups, squats, burpees, l-sits, planks, and a whole ton of isometric exercises can be done at home, without needing any equipment.

Yes, I am all about the calisthenics.

I don't have the best set up now. But my Walmart style iron gym pull up bar for my door, with gymnastic rings hanging on it, goes a long way. Sure, if I needed to progress further in the future, I would probably need more space for the rings, but it suits my workouts.

Hiking up mountains is for the leg workouts.
