Singer Blake Shelton has been busy.

The country star somehow found time between his busy schedule as a judge on 'The Voice' and as Gwen Stefani's new boyfriend to play the part of the hero on Friday when he rescued a group of strangers stranded near Ravia, Oklahoma.

Shelton, who is an avid lover of nature, was enjoying time outdoors when he spotted the four men -- Bryar and Lenyell Blanton, Adrian Poplin and Josh Turner -- in a tough situation near the Washita River.

The group's truck had become stuck after a mudslide close to the river and the men had been stranded for over two hours before Shelton came upon them, Byrar told Entertainment Tonight.

Me and Adrian started walking down the road [looking for help] and Blake and his dog, Betty, stopped and picked us up in his truck." type="quote" author="Bryar Blanton" authordesc="" isquoteoftheday="false"%

After trying to muster his own muscle to help the boys out of their sticky situation, Shelton went back to grab some additional assistance.

"He said he'd be back in 15 minutes with his tractor. He came back and got us out and chatted for a minute and talked to us about hunting," Bryar said, adding that "Blake is an all around good caring guy."

The country star poked fun of the group online after the men tweeted their gratitude to him.
