Anarcho Capitalism is the idea that government is illegitimate, and shouldn't exist at all. Once you have an entity with a monopoly on the use of force (The definition of a government), that the power inevitably grows as the worst people try to grab the power. Take the United States for example, we started out as the smallest government the world has ever seen, and as a result, became the most successful nation the world has ever seen, and as a result, has grown the government into the largest government the world has ever seen. Because of this, we can't trust anybody with a monopoly on the use of force. JRR Tolkein was an anarchist, and the one ring to rule them all, was a metaphor for government, and it must be destroyed.
AnCaps believe in a single law, which we call the Non Aggression Principle, which is essentially "Thou shalt not enact the use of force, unless it is first enacted upon you, and you react in self defense". We believe in property rights, taxation is theft, and the government is illegitimate.
Edit: An alternate title for AnCaps would be "Voluntarist".
Edit 2: There is a lot of theory about how we could privatize things that are public today. Private security forces, private roads, private military protection, private courts (Dispute resolution organizations).
Libertarianism is the road to communism. That’s the distinguishing feature between a libertarian and an AnCap. They are similar philosophies, but AnCap is more extreme. Once you grant an entity the monopoly on the use of force, it will expand. Governments don’t shrink. They grow. And grow and grow and grow until they collapse. Anarcho capitalism hopes to stop this cycle by never granting any entity with a monopoly on the use of force in the first place. This won’t be realistic until the USA collapses. I don’t condone a civil war. I’m very non violent.
How does the Non Aggression Principle apply to things like vaccines or mask mandates? Things where leftists twist the NAP to suggest that it's aggression to not comply since you pose a threat to others for not doing something to yourself, as in their eyes a vaccine or a mask is harmless but does a whole lot of good for others?
Leftists are stupid. The non aggression principle has to do with property rights (all rights stem from property rights). Whether you wear a mask or not, is not a matter of violating any bodies property rights.
Now, if you were to go into a store, and that store required you to wear a mask, that is their property and they have every right to demand you wear a mask while on their property, for the same reason they have a right to demand you wear shoes, pants, and a shirt. They would also have every right to say the opposite and say masks are not allowed while on their property, and what they say goes, and if you don’t like it, then you can voluntarily associate with a different store.
A mandatory vaccine is a clear violation of property rights. A voluntary vaccine is not a violation of property rights.
Everything should be voluntary. EVERYthing. Leftists don’t understand the NAP, and like you said, they twist it.

It sounds like libertarianism to me. I vote that way (except Trump) not because it would work, but because it is the right direction.

Right direction is spot on. I'm probably an ancap at heart, but I'm not suicidal. We aren't ready for it yet.

And that is where the ancap nonsense fails apart.
How does it fall apart exactly?
You should go research it elsewhere before knocking it. What random people here say ancap means isn't necessarily accurate.
voluntarist is probably the best way i have ever heard ancap explained. thanks for taking the time to lay it all out for us
