How about doing a version of DMPM
30 on-30 off
Swings
Pushups
Goblet squats
Carries
Great minds think alike! I was just about to post something about doing it circuit style...
There is a great circuit program called Tango in Tactical Barbell. Here are the instructions from the book: Do it 1-3x per week; combine it with minimalist strength training as a finisher (you could also use it as a deload); choose four to eight exercises; spend one minute at each station doing as many reps as possible (AMRAP); use moderate loads; rest one minute between stations; rest two to three minutes between circuits; and do two to three circuits each time.
I have been doing this for six months and counting, typically using four exercises for two circuits twice per week. It really goes well with DMPM-type exercises: pressups, kettlebell swings, loaded carries, goblet squats, groundwork, etc. I have also used it with an ab roller. I tried pullups, but unless you can do pullups for a minute I wouldn't recommend it. Hanging from a bar would work, though. I guess getups would work too, but I haven't tried that myself.
In my experience (N=1), it works better if you don't count reps. Try to make each rep as perfect as possible instead. I have found that being able to do a minute's work in basic exercises is a nice complement to heavy-ish weights for five-ish reps.
