Then so be it, but it seems like it would be beneficial to do so

I could go out in the woods right now and try to live on my own, but I'd have a much better time in a community with other people

If an individual wants to gain an individual benefit from their work instead of giving it to the community, what would prevent them from bartering for more personal good than they'd get otherwise?

The whole point of anarchism is free association. If two people agree to something that is their business. There is no exploitation in what you described. If they were to hire someone then that is an example of it being exploitative. Someone could join them in their labor as long as both parties get all that they produce.
