There is a handle on the top and 1 on the sides making it easy to hold while pouring. Plus I get an extra Gallon.

I have a 7 or 8 gal water container. I use a small colapsable hand truck (about $40 at the hardware store) and a bungie to transport the water to the TM. Then I use a simple bilge pump from REI (about $18) with some 1 inch (?) tubing on the end so I can stick the tubing into the intake and pump the water up from ground level. Much easier than carrying and hoisting that water jug!
