Anarcho-capitalistic societies have a strong tendency for tremendous and sudden power shifts between the major players, the weak squeezed till no blood comes, and the visibly mighty laid low by daggers and 'counsel' of those truly in charge.
It supports shadow government... and this is rarely a benevolent force, given the focus of the society on the possibilities for the individual. Unfortunately, there is no other government to challenge this power. It's a fantastic society of backstabbers and thieves, system abusers and power war.
But it certainly is no 'utopia'
You're on the wrong side of anarchism for that 
Luck helps.
Strength was not what killed the dinosaurs. Size (starvation) and climate change were... however much physical might they possessed... they were pathetically weak in the face of a poor environment.
Why do you think humans are the major power players today? Survive any environment
Ants are amazingly powerful as a species.
Congratulations! Either you have a massacre of the weak, or the 'strong' status is about to change hands.
Amazingly... eventually government arises! In particular, distrusting tribal societies, looking out for each other... and fucking over everyone else. Then comes the RISE OF NATIONS!
Agreed, for this type of society to begin... it must first overthrow its previous government. Civil war is generally a fantastic time for anarchy, and the war profits the capitalists (individualists) in particular.
There would be no law, and therefore no illegal business. Were you even paying attention when it was stated that this was anarchy?

That's why there are none of these-

I'm with the weak, we usually win.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
