Comment: Ramen noodles

If you have never eaten Ramen noodles or don't like them, then I wouldn't recommend buying them for survival food! If you have never eaten them then go buy some and try them, then if you like them then get some for storage. Just be aware that they are high in sodium. Also each packet is two (2) servings. I usually make one serving with a pack! I also add either garlic powder or onion powder to modify the flavor a bit. Try spicing it up however you like.
Of course this goes for ANY food you are going to store for survival. Don't store a lot of what you can't stand to eat! A small amount of what you don't like may (perhaps) be useful as trade goods, but don't count on it.
For generators, make sure you have plenty of fresh gasoline. If you buy 5 gallons at a time, once you get 20 or so gallons then start rotating. Use the oldest 5 gallon can in your car or something and refill it, then go to the next 5. You can get propane conversion kits for small generators, if you have the money. You may spend more for this kit than you did for the generator! However, propane has an unlimited storage life(or many years anyway!). And you can use the propane for cooking or lighting. Just remember all safety precautions - not necessarily just the state/county precautions!
