Long Distance Hiking on a Fruit Based Diet

Hi friends,

I'm curious how feasible it would be to do a long distance hike as a raw vegan. I'm thinking like several weeks long, Appalachian trail type backpacking. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Doug do you have any ideas or experiences? I would imagine that it would be fairly easy in most parts of Europe to maintain a fruit based diet since there's so many small villages where you could stop to stock up, but more remote hikes in other parts of the world maybe considerably harder? Would it be worth it to rely heavily on dates and dehydrated fruits for days/weeks on end just to be able to do something like this?
