How can they stay conscious for so long on a single breath? Doesn’t the body need a constant supply of oxygen?

I see alot of comments about hyperventilating / breating techniques, i just want to point out a similar technique is also used by Wim Hoffman aka the iceman to train his cold resistance. Just as how you suppress yourself for the urge to breath you suppress the cold.
