Definitely.
However, I'm not just asking about stuff and how you carry it and its accessibility.
The difference in footwear can cause one to have to change things and adapt from their normal methods of doing things. Better? Worse? Neither once the adjustment is made?
The materials clothing is made of could be someone's example. Whether it is a warmth or heat issue, or a noise issue.
Hats. Period head coverings could cause some to need to make adjustments. I know at the present I am having a love/hate relationship with my hat. Okay. Hate is too strong, and the issues I am having are of my own creation. Cut the brim a little too wide (maybe) and used a but too much shellac (maybe). But, these two "problems" are also what makes this hat useful to me. The wide brim keeps rain, sleet, and snow out of my collar down the back of my neck, and off of my glasses, also shades the shine of this white man's skin in the shadows of the forest.
I'm sure many if you can come up with things big and small that you have had to make adaptions or concessions to deal with in using or wearing period gear and clothing to do things you also do in modern attire.
Also, I'm hoping this discussion is ultimately useful to new comers eventually.
Maybe I'm odd - I can't say much adjustment was necessary on my part short of that need for wearing different clothes and footwear. The one change I can discern is that I walk a little differently in moccasins as stepping on a sharp rock is definitely an issue not noticed in modern boots. Of all the items I do miss in period clothing is waterproof boots...
In period and modern clothing, I still carry too much crap. At a quarter of what I carry, I'd still be carrying too much crap compared to those in the period (at least that is what I think). No excuse to be uncomfortable or eat poorly. On more than one occasion, I've rolled my blanket around an entire bottle of rum in the modern glass bottle.
I may be missing your point entirely...
