A Bag of Holding has a very limited amount of carrying capacity- being, it has a weight limit. No matter how small the stuff is, if it weighs over the bag's limit, you can't carry it. A Portable Hole, however, simply opens a 10-foot deep hole- whatever you can fit in the hole, you can carry without any weight or encumbrance. Also, the opening for a portable hole is quite big, allowing for big things to be put inside it, unlike the bag of holding's bag-sized opening. Say, for example, you've got your entire party and half a dozen survivors of some catastrophe all standing on a slowly-sinking platform, and you all need to get to safety- but all you've got is one Dimension Door scroll, and a Portable Hole. What are you gonna do? You can't take all those people with that one scroll of Dimension Door! Disaster seems inevitable!Here's what you do: have all but the wizard hop into the portable hole, fold it up, and have the wizard pick it up and Dimension Door away. Simple as that.</blockquote>
