I haven't decided what voluntarism I'd go for but the problem is the same for ancaps.
What do other than settling on an island or maybe a giant plateau or wherever that has impenetrable enough natural barriers and is so far removed from any civilization that the logistic costs of waging war would be too high for any organized state? I mean until we get Tesla Death Rays for every household.

Okay, it's a bit different with local warlords (maybe I'm missing something here but I honestly can't imagine it turning out any other way) but problem of already existing imperialistic powers remains.
Lets say u made an ancap country. Yes, the borders would be open and any1 could technically come inside and destroy everything. But lets say there's a big company in ur ancap country that constantly makes deals with the US. That company helps USA's economy, do u rly think they would attack ur ancap country when its existence helps the US? (I keep using USA as an example but rly it could be with any country).

Economic relationships didn't stop WW1. I mean it's always a good idea to have another layer of protection in form of financial losses on part of the assailant but if it's the only card they have that ancap territory (can ancaps even form countries?) could simply get subjugated in one way or another and provide the service at terms primarily beneficial to the stronger partner, most likely having to surrender some freedoms as well.
There isn't exactly much land that doesn't have some state's claim on it. Getting an entire existing state to go full anarchy is a tad unrealistic. You can convince a local population but seceding will, even if done peacefully, destabilize the area and is going to hard to legitimize. Not that nothing even remotely similar was ever achieved eg. Switzerland but there's enough to suggest they had Templar military and monetary support and those were simpler times.
The very same Americans who scream that they hate the police state then turn around and support the police.

WTF?
