1. A tent pole assembly, comprising: first and second pole sections, each pole section defining an open end;first and second inserts insertable into the open ends of the first and second pole sections, respectively; anda projection member insertable into the first and second inserts to releasably connect the first and second pole sections together, the projection member being connected to at least one of the first and second inserts with a releasable snap-fit connection, the projection member being removable from at least one of the first and second inserts via an axial force;an inelastic connection member extending completely through and coupling together the first insert, the second insert, and the projection member. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the first and second inserts is configured to be positioned outside of the first and second pole sections, respectively. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second inserts includes a first connection feature that mates with a second connection feature of the projection member to create the releasable snap-fit connection. 4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein the first connection feature includes a resilient arm member, and the second connection feature is a groove, the resilient arm member being movable into and out of the groove. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and second inserts are constructed to provide an interference fit within the first and second pole sections, respectively. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second inserts is bonded to the first and second pole sections, respectively. 7. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising first and second end abutment plates positioned at opposing first and second end portions of the connection member, the first and second end abutment plates being arranged and configured to couple the first and second inserts to the connection member. 8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and second inserts each include a first connection feature, and the projection member includes a second connection feature positioned at opposing ends of the projection member, the first and second connection features mating to provide the releasable snap-fit connection between the first and second inserts and the projection member. 9. The assembly of claim 8, wherein the first connection feature includes a resilient arm, and the second connection feature includes a groove that receives a portion of the resilient arm. 10. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first insert, second insert, and projection member include a layer of composite material. 11. A tent pole assembly, comprising: first and second tent pole sections;a tent pole union comprising: a first insert and a second insert, each being completely separable from the first tent pole section and the second tent pole section during operation of the tent pole assembly; anda projection member configured to be insertable into the first and second inserts to connect the first and second tent pole sections to each other, the projection member being removable from the first and second inserts via an axial force;a fixed length connection member extending completely through and coupling together the first and second inserts and the projection member. 12. The tent pole assembly of claim 11, wherein the first and second inserts are configured to be insertable into the first and second tent pole sections, respectively, with an interference fit to connect the first and second tent pole sections to each other. 13. The tent pole assembly of claim 11, wherein the fixed length connection member is movable axially relative to the first and second inserts.
