A siphon pump is going to be your best bet. Less than ten dollars.

Next time, use a siphon pump.

You should have one somewhere for emergencies.
P.S. call poison control!
You can get a siphon pump or a piece of clear tubing and your mouth.
Clog fuel filters, clog injectors, gum up your fuel pump,dirty your MAF, etc. Lots of bad stuff that will make a $1000 car a write off

because some transmissions dont have dipsticks, but when you change the fluid you also should change the filter.
If you have a dipstick and want to pull the fluid out that way, you just need a pump. Like this one but that doesn't really prepare you for how doable this actually is.
How can you afford a 55 G drum of VG but not a pump?!
The cheapest method here will be a fuel transfer pump. I've used them to get old gasoline out of cars.
Might be easier to turn up the heat in the room or place a space heater by the drum to warm up the VG a bit before to make things go faster.
Here is the first one I found but I'm sure you could find it cheaper at like a Harbor Freight or any auto store:

It looks like this - exact same design - except mine is all metal, the siphon hoses are clear and cost it $30 (can't find the exact one I have):

The hosing is long and only 1/4" so can make it around the anti-rollover valve, although it takes some spinning and jiggling. It works on my VW Gti, Prius C and is long enough to work on the RV too.
You can see the tarp we use, which is great for the burn -- super heavy, and other fuel things on our packing list: https://www.trippingly.net/burning-man-bin-organization
with that many miles, i wouldn't suggest draining/filling via the drain plug.
i'd suggest siphoning some out with a device like this:

siphon out 2 qts worth, as its likely black. then fill in 2 qts.
in 1 month, do the same again. keep doing this
please keep in mind the condition of your ATF via color. here is a chart to help.

in total, the job is likely to take 20-25 minutes... the point of this slow siphon/fill method is to slowly remove the garbage from your trans, without increasing the risk the trans blowing up.
If you think you're going to finish the keg you could always just use a hand pump. They sell them at HD or Harbor Freight for a couple bucks. You'd just have to worry about oxidation if you leave the O2 on the beer if you don't finish it.
I do this to push sanitizer through so I don't waste CO2.
This was $5 at harbor freight: Koehler Enterprises RA990 Multi-Use Siphon Fuel Transfer Pump Kit (for Gas Oil and Liquids) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0181EDCZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Yld.AbJMSA7W1
It's a water jug, not a jet fighter. How hard can filling it up be? What kind of question is this?
Maybe you're thinking about filling them up at the last minute before an emergency? If that's the case I'll say don't do that. Fill them both up now using whatever reasonable means you have at your disposal and maybe alternate emptying one out (either use it all up or dump it) and refilling it every month so you have a nice fresh backup supply if you need it.
Plain non-perfumed Clorox is great for disinfecting and preserving water. While eight drops per gallon is prescribed, I'll assume you get your water from an already clean municipal source. In that case, maybe just put 10 drops in your filled jug before putting it away.
If your concern is filling it up quickly in the field, in a hostile environment, and from a shallow water source I'll recommend something like this to include in your kit.
Otherwise... I don't know... this question is kinda...
