Someday I hope to have something like that. Pretty cool! This year I purchased a cheap $40 Harbor Freight transfer pump to eliminate walking 5 gallon pails 200' through thick swampy forest. Walking out the store I almost had tears walking back to my car knowing that little pump was going to save me from walking 60+ almost full buckets daily. Stationed a 44 gallon Rubber-Maid barrel near our collection area with the pump and connected 200' of hose running to our ATV trailer. Even thou it's manual it sure saved my back and arms!
